This tractor-drawn tool features heavy cast iron rollers or spiked wheels designed to break up large chunks of compacted earth left behind by primary tillage. It creates a fine, level surface that ensures good seed-to-soil contact for optimal germination. Farmers often run it just before planting small-seeded crops.
