DH120 or DH140 – in brief
An ATV harrow cultivates and clears soil in areas that are difficult to access for larger machinery. The DH120 is the compact solution for new plantings and smaller, dense areas where precision counts. The DH140 has a larger working width and is for larger, open areas. Both are mounted directly onto your ATV or UTV.
What is an ATV plough used for?
An ATV plough is a compact, ATV/UTV-mounted implement that loosens and cultivates the top layer of soil. It offers three primary benefits:
Seedbed preparation for game cover crops
If you want to establish wildlife strips, the seeds need contact with loose, worked soil to germinate. An ATV cultivator quickly prepares a good seedbed – even in remote fields, forest clearings and forest edges, which a tractor cannot reach.
Maintenance in new plantings
Weeds are the number one enemy in newly established plantations – they compete for water, nutrients and light and can strangle a promising planting. The ATV harrow runs precisely between the rows, loosening the soil surface and breaking up the weed's root system without chemicals.
General land management and nature conservation
On paths, firebreaks, nature conservation, and hunting areas, the harrow is used to continuously keep vegetation down and maintain open, well-kept areas. Combined with a Faunamaster seed drill Can you cultivate and sow in one pass.
DH120 vs. DH140 – the two models
Faunamaster produces two models in the DH series. They share the same basic concept – robust Danish construction for ATV/UTV – but are optimised for different scenarios.
DH120 – compact for new plantings and dense areas
DH120 has been specifically developed for weed control in new plantations. Its compact size means it can manoeuvre in narrow rows and dense plantings where a larger cultivator would get stuck or damage the plants. It is the precision tool for the forester or gamekeeper who wants to ensure the plants are not choked by weeds.
DH140 – for larger and more open areas
The DH140 has a wider working width and is designed for areas where you have space to work wider and faster. It's the choice for the farmer with large, open fields, the hunting association with long game strips, or the hobby farmer who wants an efficient machine for seasonal harrowing.
Comparison: DH120 vs. DH140
| Property | DH120 | DH140 |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | Compact | Wider working width |
| Assembly | ATV / UTV | ATV / UTV |
| Primary strength | Maneuverable in dense vegetation | Efficient workflow in open areas |
| Typical user | Forest planters, conservationist, hunter | Farmer, hunting association, larger area |
| Suitable for new plantings | Yes – developed for this | Conditional – depends on row spacing |
| Suitable for large, open fields | Yes, but more runs | Yes – optimal efficiency |
Who should choose what?
Choose DH120 if you new plantings with close spacing, working on smaller or difficult-to-access areas, or preferring precise manoeuvrability over wide capacity.
Choose DH140, if you In large, open areas where capacity counts, the primary use is for cultivating stubble fields for game cover crops, and to minimise the number of passes.
If you have both needs, the DH120 is often the best starting point: you can always drive over the open field twice; you can't rectify the plants in the new planting if the harrow hits them.
Combine with a seed drill
Both harrow models work optimally with a Faunamaster S105 or S180 seed drill. Harrow and sow in one operation: the harrow loosens and cleans, the seed drill places the seeds in the fresh soil – effectively for establishing game fields quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Aharve is a farming implement used to loosen and turn the soil before planting.
A mounted implement for your ATV or UTV that loosens and cultivates the top layer of soil. It is used for weed control, seedbed preparation and conservation on areas that are difficult to access with large tractors.
What is the difference between DH120 and DH140?
The DH120 is the compact model, developed for maintenance in new plantings and dense areas. The DH140 has a larger working width and is best suited for open fields and areas with good accessibility.
Can I use an ATV mower to establish game cover crops?
Yes. A harrow prepares a seedbed by loosening and clearing the soil surface. Combined with a Faunamaster seed drill Can you cultivate and sow in one pass.
What ATV size is required?
It depends on the model and your ATV's towing capacity and rear axle load. Always check your ATV's specifications against the machine, and contact Faunamaster if in doubt.
Where can I buy a DH120 or DH140?
DH120 can be ordered directly in online shop. See the other machinery range under machinery.
