What the Kelly Chain does in your paddock
Weed control
Knocks down both germinating and established weeds in a single pass — a fast fix when chemical fallow isn’t keeping up.
Seedbed preparation
Breaks down stubble, returns organic matter to the soil, and leaves you with a paddock you can plant into.
Stubble breakdown
Cuts and incorporates heavy stubble loads after harvest — wheat, barley, sorghum, anything you’ve left on the ground that’s getting in the way of next season’s plant.

Common questions
What is a 40 ft Kelly Chain and how does it benefit my paddock?
A 40-foot Kelly Chain is a heavy-duty harrow-type machine that breaks up stubble, manages weeds and gets the seedbed back into shape. We hire it out on dry hire so you put it behind your own tractor.
Which areas do you provide Kelly Chain hire services?
The Kelly Chain is based at Goondiwindi — the heavy gear lives out west because it can’t be transported down the Toowoomba range. From there we service paddocks across Southern Queensland and Northern NSW, including Dalby, Chinchilla, Goondiwindi, Moonie, Tara, Wandoan, North Star and surrounding districts.
What hire terms and flexibility do you offer?
Dry hire on flexible terms: daily, weekly or monthly, depending on what your paddock timing needs. Get in touch and we’ll work the dates around you and sort delivery from our Goondiwindi yard.
What tasks can the Kelly Chain handle on-farm?
The Kelly Chain is the right tool for:
Stubble breakdown and residue management after harvest
Weed control on germinating and established weeds
Seedbed preparation — improving soil structure and getting organic matter back where it should be
