Noun

There's another noun defintion (and a distinct etymology): "harrow" = temple, from Old English. It's the origin of Harrow and Harrow on the Hill, UK. --71.111.194.50 16:12, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Synomym

In Canada and the United States the cultivator described and that pictured, is known as a springtooth, not a harrow. In Canada a harrow is a quite different implement, although the uses are the same. A Canadian harrow consists of a simple steel frame with short steel pegs of 4 to 5 inches in length issuing from beneath the framework. There are no wheels nor hitch. It is attached with a chain to a disc cultivator to drag behind it or directly to a tractor for the purposes of breaking the soil up into fine particles. When used to cover up seeded ground, it is often followed by a rolling drum to pack the loose soil tightly. Thank you for sharing your entry with me. I hope you can follow my argument.

Do you have citations that illustrate the usage or a reference to a dictionary or glossary that shows the words are used as you say. Words are often used at multiple levels of precision. DCDuring TALK 12:32, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Wodehouse and not Kipling?

For "toad beneath the harrow," why are we quoting Wodehouse and not the real source, Kipling?--74.103.157.244 06:53, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Someone added a lot of Wodehouse citations once, and probably didn't realise he was quoting somebody else. Please replace it if you know the original. Equinox ◑ 18:31, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
