A leveling bar is an indispensable implement for both large-scale farms and backyard lifestyle properties. Discover its most practical applications below.

 

Levelling Bar for Tractor

1

Track Maintenance

Properly designed and maintained tracks and driveways make navigating your property significantly quicker and easier, minimize wear and tear on farm vehicles, and help prevent stock lameness. Quality tracks and driveways also enhance water quality by directing dirty runoff away from waterways.

Running the leveling bar along your tracks will help smooth out surfaces and redistribute loose material from the edges or drainage areas to ensure tracks remain properly drained. It can be beneficial to follow up with a tyre roller after this process to ensure loose material is thoroughly compacted and doesn't wash back into drainage systems during the next significant rainfall.

2

Mitigating Paddock Pugging

The leveling bar is frequently an excellent tool to begin addressing pugging that has developed in your farm paddocks during winter. Best tackled when soil conditions are dry, you can sometimes find it useful to initially run the harrows over the area first to break up any compacted material and smooth it over with a tyre roller.

Following this, use the leveling bar to redistribute areas evenly, ensuring water doesn't accumulate in problem spots.

Re-Seeding Or Sowing Of Paddocks And Lawns

After ploughing paddocks or lawns, the surface can be re-levelled using the leveling bar. This is typically best accomplished after several passes with harrows equipped with duals. Levelling should be performed when soil conditions are dry. Seed can then be distributed, and to optimize germination, a tyre roller is run over the paddock or lawn to maximize seed contact with soil and ensure the soil is properly compacted and won't wash away in the next heavy rain.

Distribution Of Manure In Paddocks

The leveling bar can be beneficial for dispersing accumulated manure in a paddock that's resting, ensuring optimal coverage and regeneration throughout the area.

5

Horse Arena Maintenance

The leveling bar can be utilized to help redistribute and level loose chipping or sand accumulation from the perimeter of your arena.

Important Note: The rationale for using a leveling bar after harrowing is that while harrows can create a level surface on top, varying levels of compaction can remain concealed beneath. These can develop into lumps or low spots over time.
