The Martens Flex Link -
The heart of the harrow!
The Martens Flex Link
System is the heaviest
and longest lasting of
any flex harrow on the
market.
The harrow bar pipe wall
thickness on our harrow is
.136". Compare that with our
competitor. Theirs is .105"
Ours is stronger.

The working end of a Martens Spike Tooth harrow is the tooth. Teeth are forge hardened for
long life and are diamond shaped so they cut through clods, straw and stalk residue,
manure, grasses. This cutting action helps break up the material into finer pieces so that it
can be spread evenly across the ground. This is important when trying to: 1. Make soil fine,
smooth, and firm for planting, 2. Spreading and breaking up residue - this should be done
when it is dry, preferably hot, and higher speeds of 7-10 mph. 3. Renovating and grooming
dormant alfalfa fields. This cutting action opens the soil, tears out small weeds, and
uncovers overwintering insects and eggs for fewer bug problems, 4. Spreading manure in
pastures so that it acts as a fertilizer instead of covering the ground and keeping grasses
from growing, 5. The narrow point of the tooth "cuts through", rather than "pulls out" the
desirable grasses and plants.
The Martens teeth are hardened on the wear point, but are softer metal near the threaded
end so if you strike a rock, the tooth will resist breakage. The threaded end of the tooth
allows you to remove the tooth for repair or replacement. Teeth last for tens of thousands of
acres. Most harrow owners get 8 to 10 years use out of a set of teeth.

16 bar spike tooth flex harrow
The Martens Heavy Duty
harrow frame is built for
the rigors of the 16 bar
harrow. We can also build
it with just 12 bars so you
have a super duty 12 bar
and the possibility of
adding 4 more bars later
to make it a 16 bar.

on this page and we think  
you will agree that
Martens builds the best
harrow money can buy.
16 bar spike tooth flex harrow
The wear surface of our flex link is 33% heavier than the nearest competitor. Unlike most flex
harrows, each flex part is replaceable without having to completely disassemble the section.
Our harrow pipes are thicker wall and heavier than other flex harrows. We have long lasting
6” diamond shaped teeth that are held to the pipe by locking nuts. The tooth spacing is 9”.
With the stagger of the bars, 21 teeth per foot of width are on the ground on the 16 bar
harrow. The harrow sections feature 2 pull heights to control residue or for clean tillage.
Tooth angles can be set at 40 or 20 degrees back from vertical for aggressiveness. No other
harrow manufacturer can compare with our section strength, weight, and residue flow-
through.
