Our Harrows

West Coast Footings have top of the line harrows that will maintain a level surface, including the kick boards. You have total control of the working depth of the air pockets (cush) while the float bar will compress your surface to maintain consistency. These Harrows are excellent for winter and summer maintenance - most Harrows will not do both. Due to its free standing capabilities (on tires), our Harrows are one of the most base friendly, user friendly, and affective arena implements on the market today.

Not only do they work up the footing surface - the spring teeth work the footing by adding air to the footing, which is your "cush", to any desirable depth that you wish - the standard float pan is also a leveling device for your horse ring, it is like getting two pieces of tractor equipment for the price of one.

Now, with this expanding line of Harrows and Options, arenas with Specialty Footings, custom sand, felt footings, dirt, sand, or other additives can achieve excellent arena footing. Our ever expanding JDZ Line of Harrows is John Dienhart�s best Harrow design to date; the line currently consists of:

What Sets The Harrows at West Coast Footings Apart From All Other Harrows?

• Complete adjustability.The leveling Float Pan and Wire Roller now have height adjustment capability for the experienced operator to vary their grooming techniques.

• Our favorite feature is the Rack System- The S-Tyne and Coil Tine rack system of the JD Eee Z is a link & lever system, with up and down action, which keeps the S-Tynes at the optimal angle for proper tooth entry, at all times, regardless of depth adjustment.

JD Special Harrow

The JD Special Harrow is equipped with a Tyne bar system which is fixed to the Harrow frame. Tooth depth adjustment is achieved by using the turnbuckle to pivot the S-Tynes bars into position. The JD Special 2 Row Harrow was primarily designed for use in dirt arenas such as barrel racing; and team penning, however, this Harrow has made its mark in the Dressage, Jumping, and Flat Work arenas.

This Harrow is ideally suited for those on a budget or private arena facilities.

Harrow Options

JD Harrow Options provide arena groomers with various tools for all types of footing, such as the JD Ripper, JD Screen Roller, JD Paddle Wheel, and more.

Custom Design Is Available... We would Love to Work With You!

We are happy to help you custom design the harrow you need, if you don't see what you want: color, harrow design, etc, talk to John Dienhart, he loves to solve problems!

JD Water Roller

The JD Water Roller is the ultimate in all season maintenance!! In all arenas or pasture maintenance, you need to control the air pockets for winter to summer versatility. By adding the roller (water filled to achieve proper weight desired) to your Harrow, you can tighten up the surface (or compress the air out) which will allow more water to run off. The roller can be pulled by itself or in combination as a Harrow & roller. By controlling water runoff, you will have less percolation - so it will dry faster, hence you can use the arena sooner (less down time).

What does West Coast Footings actually build?

West Coast Footings is a family-owned equestrian arena company based in Clovis, CA that designs, constructs, and maintains complete riding surfaces from the base up. Beyond selling footing, the team handles conventional arena builds, Ebb & Flow water-managed systems, footing-additive installation, base repair, and laser-controlled "Deep Groom" turnovers for precision-leveled surfaces. They also offer arena consultation covering renovation, groomers, dust control, and custom footing-additive blends, so a single call can take an arena from bare ground to show-ready. Reach the shop at (800) 585-7000 or.

Why Dean "Tractor Dean" Hendrickson runs every job himself

The business traces back to 1998, when founder John Dienhart recognized the need for purpose-built arena equipment; when Dienhart retired, Dean Hendrickson took the reins and the "Tractor Dean" name. Dean is nationally known for his expertise in arena design, construction, and equipment, and he is famously hands-on. As the company puts it, "Tractor Dean's attention to detail is unmatched. He is present on every job, ensuring the highest standards." With more than 25 years of footing experience behind the operation, Dean can be reached in person, by phone at (800) 585-7000, or.

The GGT-Footing geotextile-and-fiber blend Dean recommends

West Coast Footings resells GGT-Footing because Dean considers it the best available arena additive on the market. GGT-Footing is a geotextile-and-fiber footing that mixes engineered textile and fiber into the sand to transform how a surface behaves under hoof. The company highlights that it reduces dust, delivers high water-storage capability, provides optimal impact resistance, and offers higher slide strength with added stability. Because the fibers knit the sand together, the footing resists packing and gives the spring that returns energy to horse and rider instead of absorbing it.

Water on Wheels and Micro Rain keep the moisture even

Consistent moisture is what separates a safe, dust-free surface from a hard, slick one, and West Coast Footings supplies the watering equipment to manage it. Their Water on Wheels watering trailers, offered in varying sizes, deliver even arena water saturation without the puddling and dry stripes that come from hand-watering. They also carry the Micro Rain Turbine Drive traveling sprinkler, a portable system whose turbine drive uses the water pressure in the hose to reel the sprinkler cart across the arena at a set pace, no power or fuel required. Together these tools let owners hold the moisture content that proper footing and dust control depend on.

Harrows, drag tines, and replacement parts in one place
Keeping a fiber-blended surface mixed and textured requires the right groomer, and West Coast Footings sells, services, repairs, and trains owners on its harrows. The growing parts catalog includes the Double Sided Tip, the Double Coil Tine, and the S-Tine, the wear components that keep a drag turning sand and additive together so the blend stays uniform. The parts store is rolling out online, and until it is fully live the team takes orders directly by phone at (800) 585-7000.
