William Hackett 8ft 3-Way Folding Chain Harrow H‑HF08

The H-HF08 sits in the middle of the William Hackett folding range — wider than the smaller siblings for fewer passes across a paddock, without the horsepower and storage demands of the largest model. Open it out to 8 ft by 5 ft for work; fold it back to 4 ft to get home through the gate.

Coverage versus gateway access

An 8 ft bed pulls noticeably more ground per lap than the narrower siblings, which matters once a paddock starts running into acres rather than corners. When the job's done, folding to 4 ft is a single-person operation that takes seconds — narrow enough for standard gateways and to stand against a barn wall.

Three-way bed, one implement

Run it aggressive-side-down to tear out matted thatch and knock molehills flat. Flip it for a medium pass to spread dung and level hoof-poached ground. Invert the bed entirely for a light finishing harrow over fresh seed. Same harrow, three intensities.

Matched to small-tractor power

The 13 mm tines are sized for the weight and pull of compact and sub-compact tractors rather than full-size kit, so the harrow works with the machine instead of dragging it around. Gusset plates welded into the frame corners hold the geometry true through repeated folding.

• 8 ft working width × 5 ft depth bed for paddock and pasture coverage
• Folds to 4 ft transport width — single-person operation, clears standard gateways
• 13 mm diameter tines matched to compact and sub-compact tractor output
• 3-way bed: aggressive, medium and light harrowing by flipping or inverting
• Cat 1 three-point linkage mount
• 170 kg with gusset-plated frame corners for rigidity under repeated folding
• British made
