A disc harrow is used to break up the surface layer of soil in ground that has already been plowed. It is designed to break the soil into relatively small pieces and destroy any vegetation which might remain. Weights can be added to the trays on top of the harrow to help the harrow penetrate deeper when soil is harder.
