That is exactly what I haveI have seen a piece of chainlink with 1-4 pieces of 4x4 on top (one on the front, one on the back, add more in the middle to make it more aggressive).

I've built my boys a dirt oval go kart track and need something to smooth it out with. I don't want to spend a bunch of money on a land plane or whatever. Back in the day when I raced karts, the track owners would drag an old box spring with tires and concrete blocks on it around the track, but I can't find a box spring set like that ANYWHERE these days.
Show me what you've made to smooth the ground something similar :thumbsup:

I didn't see much side to side movement of material in Airbiskit's video & always heard there wasn't as much as you'd expect. Do you have a steeper angle or otherwise see more lateral material movement?I have made a few drags similar to to AIRBISKIT's but only using 3 'blades'
Front 2 being at similar angles as his fronts with only one rear blade.
I did add a plate in order to add weight as needed.
A 3 blade design scalps all bumps, never digs in and spreads the material nicely.
We pull using 2 chains , one from each corner and insert a small tire in each chain line to act as a shock absorber in case we snag a rock or root.
For more aggressive grading one could always add teeth to to front blade.(could be as simple as welded on short rods)
The angled blades cause the loose material to travel from side to side and fill in any indentations while the rear blade makes a finish.
How about an old panel or gate? You would have to add weight to it.Anybody have advice on designs for levelling clods behind a disc, in contrast to road maintenance?
IF I had drag it would most likely look some thing like this, not very attractive, but I do not have any drag, but I do have a soil mover,
