Mealie Brand range
Ploughs, harrows, ridgers, planters and cultivators built for donkey and ox power — the tools that take a field from bare soil to a growing crop.
About the category
Mealie Brand animal-drawn implements are designed to be pulled by donkeys, cows or oxen. Each one is matched to a draught team — from the 25.9 kg MM43 cultivator for two donkeys to the 126 kg two-furrow P23 plough for four to six oxen — so you can choose equipment your animals can comfortably work with.
The range covers the full cropping cycle on draught-powered farms: breaking and turning the soil, harrowing a clean seedbed, forming ridges, planting in rows and keeping weeds down between the rows.
Agricultural solutions
Choose by the job in front of you. Each solution lists only the implements the Mealie Brand booklet places in it.
Break and turn the soil, then harrow it into a fine seedbed. Pick a plough by soil type and draught team, then finish with a triangular harrow on lighter soils or a zig-zag harrow on heavier soils and clay.
Equipment in this solution
