    OPERATING SUGGESTIONS There are some important points to remember in order to obtain the best possible results from your McFarlane harrow.  To maximize the harrow’s performance, it should be towed at speeds ranging from six to nine (6 - 9) mph. This keeps the field debris moving through the harrow sections and avoids clogging.
