Weaving Machinery has been appointed UK distrbutor for the Kelly MPH (Multi-Purpose Harrow).
    Originally designed in Australia, the European units are built under licence in Denmark.
    They are available at 6m, 9m and 12m wide and feature five lengths of cast iron discs arranged in a rough diamond pattern. The discs link together in a chain that means they are always in contact with the ground no matter how rough the terrain. The long life of the discs means that running costs are extremely low.
    The working depth is 2-6 cm, according to soil type and conditions. The chains’ special 43-degree angle to the driving direction means that the discs partly roll and particularly 'peel' the soil, thereby clearing plant material on the soil and leaving an even, fine surface.

The Kelly MPH was originally designed in Australia.


    The harrow is based on an articulated framework construction, fitted with main wheels as the fixed part. The wings and tail piece are fitted with a floating option to allow them to follow the terrain independently, for example above and below level.
    The chains are hung from loose arms to prevent the weight of the harrow's framework construction from loading the chains which are able to work freely on the ground despite bumps, stones and the like.
    The chains are tightened automatically by springs on the larger models and by hydraulic cylinders on the small model. Working on very stony soil, the chain is sufficiently flexible to jump over the stones.
    A 9m Kelly MPH needs about 200hp to pull it, and it is thought that the unit will help in black-grass control.
