how big is it and how much hp does it take to pull it?

kramarj,
It is 5 ft. wide. The 140 in the picture is 14 hp & has no problem pulling it.

Wow, that is a work of art. Looks like it is really well put together. I would have had to paint the four gang rails yellow to match my Ertl toy disc I got in the mid 70's.

I would like to build something like that, but I suspect that just the steel would cost many hundred dollars now days.

where did you get the gangs for it?

Thanks Wombat125. I hadn't thought about yellow there... would have looked nice.

kramarj,
I found a deal on some Brinly parts & bought a bunch of them. They want
a fortune for them now.
