ROBERT grassland maintance DBS harrow

ROBERT grassland harrows 

The Atelier Robert DBS (Dung-Bed Spreading) series are folding, grassland maintenance harrows designed for management of pastures and meadows by breaking up dung, scarifying soil, and promoting pasture regrowth.

Core Models & Specs

• DBS 400/480/560/640/720, 880, 960

  • Working width from 4.0 m up to 9.6 m

  • Hydraulic folding for transport

  • Required tractor power ranges from 50 hp (DBS 400) to 140 hp (DBS 960)

Structural Design

• Three functional tool rows:

  1. Levelling scrapers (40 cm) to spread manure clumps and molehills

  2. Dung-spreader blades (10 cm) to break up residues and improve distribution

  3. Flexible spring-steel tines to scarify, aerate, and enhance soil structure

• Heavy C‑section frame, reinforced at high-stress points, with closed ends for crack resistance
• Adjustable pressure via tie-rods, spring compensation for uneven terrain, and counter-blades to guard against bend fatigue
• Hydraulic foldaway wings with auto-lock in transport mode; robust pivot pins and tapered joints ensure durability
• Support wheels: 250 mm diameter, with bearings and scrapers, offering stability across different field conditions

Key Benefits

• Enhances pasture yield by over 30%: Even manure distribution improves grass regrowth, resilience, and usable surface area

• Integrated aeration and scarification: Final tine row busts compaction, enhances nutrient absorption, and contributes to soil structure
• Seeder-ready options: Can be equipped with overseeding attachments—available support frames and kits
• Durable build and operation: Galvanised parts, sturdy hydraulics, and field-adaptive features result in long service life

Options Available

• Additional aerator rake row in lieu of flexible tines

• Various gauge wheel options

• Seeder kits for broadcast or pneumatic reseeding

• Transport lighting & signage kits

• Support frames for different seeder models

The Atelier Robert DBS harrows are precision-crafted pasture tools that combine manure break-up, soil aeration, and overseeding readiness into a single implement. They are excellent for maintaining fertile, productive grasslands with minimal tractor power and efficient field operation.
