MASSEY HARRIS NO 10 GOBLE DISC HARROW
The Massey Harris No. 10 Goble Disc Harrow was a horse-drawn agricultural implement designed for preparing soil before planting. It was manufactured by the Massey Harris Company, a leading producer of farm machinery in the early 20th century.
Construction and Design
The Massey Harris No. 10 Goble Disc Harrow consisted of a series of concave discs mounted on a frame. The discs were made of high-carbon steel and were heat-treated for durability. They were slightly dished, which allowed them to penetrate the soil more effectively. The discs were arranged in a staggered pattern, with each disc overlapping the previous one. This design ensured thorough soil pulverization and mixing.
The frame was made of heavy-duty steel and was designed to withstand the rigors of field work. It was equipped with a tongue for attaching to a horse-drawn plow or tractor. The frame also featured adjustable axle positions, allowing the operator to customize the working width of the harrow.
Operation
The Massey Harris No. 10 Goble Disc Harrow was operated by pulling it behind a horse-drawn plow or tractor. The discs rotated as the harrow was pulled through the soil, cutting and pulverizing the soil. The adjustable axle positions allowed the operator to control the depth of penetration, ensuring optimal soil preparation for planting.
