If you’re looking to manage weeds, break up surface residue, or prepare paddocks for
planting, a Kelly Chain is one of the most efficient tools available to Queensland farmers.
Its versatility, low fuel use, and ability to cover large areas quickly make it popular across
grazing and mixed-farming operations.
For producers around Toowoomba and the Lockyer Valley, the good news is that reliable
Kelly Chain hire is available locally — without the hassle of transporting machinery long
distances.
What a Kelly Chain Is Used For
A Kelly Chain (or Kelly Diamond Harrow) is designed to:
- Manage weeds and break early growth
- Lightly cultivate the soil surface
- Spread crop residue
- Prepare a seedbed without full cultivation
- Improve soil-to-seed contact
- Refresh pasture in grazing systems
Why Toowoomba Farmers Use Kelly Chains
The Toowoomba region includes clays, loams, and lighter sandy soils — each needing
different management. A Kelly Chain offers efficient weed control, surface levelling,
residue breakdown, low horsepower requirements, and fast coverage.
When to Use a Kelly Chain
Best results occur when:
- Weeds are small
- Soil surface is dry enough for light cultivation
- Preparing for oats, forage crops, or cover crops
- Refreshing tired pasture before overseeding
