DescriptionWhy buy the William Hackett H-HG08 Chain Harrow?
If you've outgrown the 6 ft, the H-HG08 is the next step up — 2.4m of fixed-tine mat that drags out thatch, aerates compacted turf and flattens mole hills in a single aggressive direction. British made, ring-hitched and happy behind anything from a compact tractor to a 4x4.
Coverage where the smaller mats stall
At 8 ft wide, this is the largest of the William Hackett fixed grass harrows. A full menage or a sizeable paddock gets walked over in noticeably fewer laps than the 4, 5 or 6 ft siblings. The fixed tines pull one way only — drag, lift, turn around, drag again.
Tow vehicle, not three-point
There are no linkage arms to wrestle with. A simple ring hitch on a heavy-duty steel tube drawbar, chain draft, welded-spacer attachment bar — hook it to a tractor drawbar, an ATV, a 4x4 or, with a bit of rigging, a working horse.
- Working width: 8 ft (2.4m) — widest in the H-HG fixed-tine family
- Weight: 68 kg — enough mass to bite without bogging an ATV
- Hitch: ring hitch with chain draft — fits tractors, ATVs, 4x4s and pickups
- Drawbar: heavy-duty steel tube, reinforced by a welded-spacer attachment bar
- Construction: carbon steel, British made for wear resistance
- Action: fixed tine mat, one-way aggressive pull for thatch and mole hills
- Overall dimensions: 240 x 152 cm
- Use cases: paddocks, manèges, gallops, running tracks, smallholding fields and lawns
Where it earns its keep
Equestrian yards use it to keep manèges and gallops level and free of compaction. Smallholders run it over paddocks each spring to clear winter thatch. Quick to hitch, quick to drop, simple to store.

Simple ordering and prompt delivery
Well made product,and does a good job. Only issue i found was the chain from the tractor to the drawbar,was on the short side.
Chain Harrows
Well made good quality product, at a very attractive price. Arrived two days early! The harrows make a fine finish on my outside jumping arena.
Excellent product
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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
Good customer service
Good price, flexible delivery to remote location, good customer service
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.
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.
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..!!!
A great product. Very sturdy, just the job for a light harrow.
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.
Great product, well priced and speedy delivery.
