DH120 or DH140 – in brief
An ATV harrow processes and cleans soil in areas that are difficult to access for large machinery. The DH120 is the compact solution for new plantings and smaller, dense areas where precision counts. The DH140 has a wider working width and is for larger, open areas. Both are mounted directly onto your ATV or UTV.
What is an ATV plow used for?
An ATV plow is a compact, ATV/UTV-mounted implement that loosens and works the top layer of soil. It offers three main benefits:
Seedbed preparation for game cover
If you want to establish game fields, the seeds need contact with loose, worked soil to germinate. An ATV tiller quickly prepares a good seedbed – even in remote fields, forest clearings, and forest edges that a tractor cannot reach.
Maintenance of new plantings
Weeds are public enemy number one in newly established plantings – they compete for water, nutrients, and light, and can stifle a promising plantation. The ATV tiller operates precisely between the rows, loosening the soil surface and breaking up the weed root system without chemicals.
General Land Management and Nature Conservation
On trails, firebreaks, nature conservation areas, and hunting grounds, the harrow is used to continuously keep vegetation down and maintain open, well-kept areas. Combined with a Faunamaster seed drill Can you till 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 optimized for different scenarios.
DH120 – compact for new plantings and tight areas
DH120 is specifically designed for weed control in new plantings. Its compact size means it can maneuver in narrow rows and dense plantings where a larger cultivator would get stuck or damage the plants. It is the precision tool for the forest planter or hunter 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 room to work wider and faster. It's the choice for the farmer with large, open fields, the hunting association with long game fields, or the hobby farmer who wants an efficient machine for seasonal harrowing.
Comparison: DH120 vs. DH140
| Attribute | 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 plants, nature conservator, 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 have young plantings with close spacing, work on smaller or difficult-to-access areas, or desire precise maneuverability over broad capacity.
Choose DH140, if you has large, open areas where capacity counts, primarily uses the harrow for seedbed preparation for game cover crops, and wants to minimize 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 cannot correct the plants in a new planting if the harrow hits them.
Combine with a seeder
Both harrow models work optimally with a Faunamaster S105 or S180 seeder. Harrow and sow in one pass: the harrow loosens and cleans, the seeder places the seeds in the fresh soil – effective for quickly establishing game fields.
Frequently asked questions
What is an ATV plow?
A mounted implement for your ATV or UTV that loosens and processes the top layer of soil. It is used for weed control, seedbed preparation, and land management in 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 cleaning in newly planted areas and dense spaces. The DH140 has a larger working width and is best suited for open fields and areas with good accessibility.
Can I use an ATV plow to establish wildlife plots?
Yes. A disc harrow prepares a seedbed by loosening and cleaning the soil surface. Combined with a Faunamaster seed drill Can you till 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 you have any doubts.
Where do I buy a DH120 or DH140?
DH120 can be ordered directly at webshop. See the rest of the machine assortment under machines.
