William Hackett 6ft Fixed Grass Chain Harrow H‑HG06

The H-HG06 sits between the smaller ATV-scale mats and the 8 ft tractor-scale unit in the William Hackett range. At 1.8m wide it clears a paddock noticeably faster than the narrower options, but at 51 kg it still rides happily behind a quad or 4x4. A practical pick if you've outgrown a smaller mat but don't want to hitch up the tractor every time.

What it does on grass

Fixed tines bite in one direction with an aggressive scarifying action — pulling thatch out of the sward, opening the surface for air and water, and knocking down mole hills as you go. Run it over menages and gallops to keep the going consistent.

Hitch options beyond the tractor

The ring hitch couples to compact tractors, ATVs and 4x4s alike — and, per William Hackett, to a working horse with a bit of ingenuity. That flexibility is the point: one mat, whatever you've got in the yard.
