Find answers to commen questions about our aftermarket tillage parts

Real Harrows specializes in aftermarket tillage parts including patented harrow gangs, round-bar rolling baskets, tillage blades, blade coulters, spacers, angle kits, and retrofit upgrade kits. All products are designed and built by engineer and farmer Scott Buteyn in Campbellsport, Wisconsin, to outperform OEM parts in durability and ease of repair.
Real Harrows offers six different harrow gang configurations, allowing farmers to match the right style to their soil type, residue conditions, and tillage goals. This is a significant advantage over OEM manufacturers like Great Plains, McFarlane, and Kuhn, which typically offer only one harrow style per machine. Individual components can be replaced without disassembling an entire gang.
Round-bar rolling baskets are soil-finishing attachments that roll behind tillage equipment to break up clods, level the soil surface, manage crop residue, and firm the seedbed. Real Harrows baskets feature maintenance-free bearings and durable hardware. The round-bar design offers equal strength in all directions — making it more resistant to bending from rocks — and delivers consistent seedbed firming across varying soil conditions.
Yes. In addition to harrows and rolling baskets, Real Harrows carries tillage blades, blade coulters, and spacers — built to the same durability standards as their harrow products and designed to fit popular tillage equipment brands.
Yes. Real Harrows also offers shortened harrow and rolling basket units popular with strip-tillers. Scott also designed a custom closing wheel that uses the OEM bearing in a sandwiched design with customizable size and shape — providing soil-covering capability that standard closing blades alone can't match.
Real Harrows parts are engineered to fit popular brands including Great Plains, Kuhn Krause (VT), McFarlane, and more. Harrow gangs and rolling baskets are built to retrofit existing vertical tillage machines, cultivators, and custom toolbars — often without welding. Browse by brand on the website to find the right part for your machine.
Yes. Real Harrows products are specifically designed for retrofitting older and existing machines. Angle kits, harrow gangs, rolling baskets, and blade upgrades are available as drop-in or bolt-on solutions — letting farmers upgrade performance without purchasing entirely new machines.
Real Harrows offers six harrow gang configurations vs. the single option from most OEM brands. Parts are heavier-duty to reduce breakage, designed so individual components can be swapped without disassembling the whole gang, and backed by U.S. Patent #11,277,953 B1. You spend less time wrenching and more time in the field.

Yes. Many Real Harrows parts install in minutes with no welding required. Retrofit kits include all necessary hardware and bolt onto existing equipment. If you need help, Scott is available directly to walk you through it — no hold music, no escalation chains.
You can replace individual components. This was a core design goal from the start — OEM harrows often require disassembling the entire gang to swap one part, which on a rusted assembly can take all day. Real Harrows parts are engineered for quick, single-component replacement so you're back in the field faster.
Real Harrows keeps parts in-stock and ships quickly from Campbellsport, Wisconsin. That means fast delivery to farmers throughout the Midwest and across the country — minimizing equipment downtime during critical planting and tillage windows.

Real Harrows was founded by Scott Buteyn, an engineer and farmer from Campbellsport, Wisconsin. After years renting vertical tillage implements and doing custom tillage work, Scott saw firsthand how OEM harrows broke constantly and offered no real options. He designed his own system from scratch — heavy-duty, modular, and easy to repair — and patented the result.
Yes. Real Harrows holds U.S. Patent #11,277,953 B1 for its harrow design. The patent protects the modular, easily-repaired design that makes Real Harrows a smarter long-term investment than OEM alternatives.
Real Harrows is based in Campbellsport, Wisconsin and serves hardworking farmers across the Midwest and beyond. It's a small, farmer-founded operation — built on the idea that the people making ag parts should also be the people using them.
