DescriptionWhy buy the William Hackett H-HG04 Chain Harrow?
The H-HG04 is the entry size in William Hackett's fixed-tine family. It's the one a smallholder or yard manager can genuinely pull behind an ATV or 4x4 — the wider mats want a tractor in front of them. At 4 ft across it slips through paddock gateways and works neatly around single-horse turnout.
Tears thatch and knocks down mole hills
Fixed tines, one-way pull, aggressive bite. The mat scarifies harder than a reversible pattern — it rips matted thatch out of grass, opens compacted topsoil and flattens mole hills in a single pass. Run it over the menage and it keeps the surface even for schooling, too.
Light enough for a quad, heavy enough to work
At 37 kg the harrow drags behind a quad or 4x4 without bogging into soft ground, but it carries enough weight on the tines to bite. The drawbar is a heavy-duty steel tube with a chain draft, so pull stays even across the full width of the mat.

Review Your William Hackett H-HG04
I have found this an excellent machine and it has performed very well 5 out of 5 and I would highly recommend it to others
I’m happy to endorse the product as below. Good luck in your endeavours. I have found the small chain harrow well made and easy to use. It is just about manageable by one person. I tow it around the edges of my small-holding fields behind an old landrover using just the tow bar but avoiding reversing. It is sturdy, quite easy to clean up and seems happy being stored outside with any slight rust rubbing off when the harrow is next used. If I get the time of season right it knocks back the encroaching bracken, brambles and nettles with two or three applications in a year. I would give it 5 out of 5 for doing what is demanded of it; and speed of delivery and help unloading were all first class.
I actually bought this for a neighbour who had a larger harrow that was better for me. As far as I am aware he has been very happy with it.
The Harrow did the job required. It was the right size for my mini tractor and the size of our fields, so I’d rate it 5 for my needs but they were very specific.
We are very pleased with our harrow and have had no issues at all. It was very good value for money and is perfect for our needs (harrowing horse manure into our paddocks).
It’s a simple bit of kit that’s done its job until next season and will sit in the yard until called upon.
I really like this small harrow, it’s easy to use and small enough to store. I do apply a little bit of extra weight for the harrow, normally consisting on a tractor tyre when harrowing the field but for my arena this is not required it works perfectly on its own as it is. I would highly recommend this piece if equipment!
I am very satisfied with this harrow and would recommend it to others. It is well made and did the job helping me level a paddock for sewing grass seed to cover patches. I would give this harrow 5/5.
The chain harrows do a good job if used as per weather conditions, very happy with them
Good product, quick delivery, driver very helpful
Removes thatch from grass well and flattens mole hills.
Chain Harrow arrived in good time
Chain Harrow arrived in good time. Delivery guy helped to unwrap and unload it. Easy to use and has helped to level the ground well. Also very effective in removing moss and unwanted thatch from lawns.
Really handy in small paddocks
Great product. Well made and solid. Easy to use with great results
Delivered on time
Delivered on time. Harrow as described. Good service.
Straight forward really
Straight forward really. However, the link to my bank only took me to personal banking and therefore I couldn’t use my business account to pay. I really wanted that £3 discount..!!!
Good value and service
I initially phoned the company to ask for some more details of the product. They were very helpful and contacted the manufacturer and I received a very prompt answer to my question. I ordered the harrow and received good communication from the company. Unfortunately the delivery came a day later than I was told but this was an issue with the courier and not the company. I have used the harrow and am happy with the product, it works well.
Heavy sturdy and capable.
Very pleased with the quality!
All great.
Brilliant piece of kit for use on a quad or even with a small pony ;) I’ve recommended this on an equestrian land management page. Well-made and really did a good job on our paddocks
Yes I think the harrow is great, does what it says and price was reasonable. its lasting well
We’ve now purchased a 4ft Harrow and just recently a 6ft Harrow. I had cause to speak to one of the staff for advice on the harrows and they couldn’t have been more helpful. I made online purchases in both instances which were quick and easy. The harrows work perfectly. We use them in our horse paddocks all the time and have helped greatly improve the ground/grass after those pesky horses make such a mess!! Have not seen our fields looking as well for a long time. Great product and easy efficient transactions both times with knowledgeable aftersales help. Highly recommended.
The drag Harrow and Menage Unit have been great, also because I can deal with the equipment with out the help of other people and both fit on my Gator
its used for paddock harrowing on an equestrian facility, its big enough to do the job we require and small enough to manhandle and use behind a gator. Does the job we bought it for very well
Recommended company
Good advice pre purchase. The order came quickly and was well packaged. The harrows are good quality and do the job well. Very competitive price.
We have been very pleased with our purchase. It has been used in our pony paddocks to great effect. Consider it great value, and would highly recommend.
I've used the harrow a few times now on my wildflower meadow. I have towed it behind a Gator and a compact tractor. It's light enough to lift manually to transport in the rear bed of a Gator to and from the field, very easy to set up, sometimes gets clogged with dead grass and mud but relatively easy to clear, and leaves a good finish. It was also useful with the tines pointing down to disturb soil before sowing wildflower seed, then used to run over the area again with the harrow flipped over (tines up) to level the ground after sowing rather than using a roller.
Good customer service
Good price, flexible delivery to remote location, good customer service

A really efficient prompt service, and we love the grass harrow we bought. It's doing a great job!
Great experience with Zaros Machinery! The product arrived promptly, just as described, with no assembly needed. Delivery was on time with great updates, including a call an hour before arrival. Excellent quality and good value for money. Would definitely buy from zarosmachinery.co.uk again!
Exactly as described and does the job perfectly. Prompt delivery too I am very happy.
