Its been pretty quiet around here for awhile and I am sure nobody has been doing any tractoring with all the heat but I am starting on a project and figured Id share it for something to do.
We finally had a whopping .05 rain the day before yesterday making out total for the year 1.80!!! That got me thinking I need to get my drag built so I can hang it from my 3 pt and lift it etc a .50 to 1.00 rain is just right to fluff the rocks in my yard & driveway and we will have rain sooner or later.
When it was given to me years ago it was in a big gravel oil field pipe yard and setup with a long chain with a loop in the middle and they would hook it over the ball on their pickups and drag it around its 8' wide btw.
It wasn't built to be moved from place to place except with a loader and that will be my project making it a 3 pt attachment that will float it has to be on chains or will be to rigid to actually level.
Actually I am thinking I need a carry all and be able to haul and use this drag all with the same frame just need to be able to un-hook the drag when I need a carry all sounds easy?
edit:
Neat1500's project got me thinking about incorporating the drag and carry all together I plan to do something similar to his carry all except have 4 chains hanging off to attach to the drag is what I have in mind at this point it may change.
If someone has any ideas please feel free to add I tend to think things to death and then at the last minute say the heck with it and get out the welder and get to work so if anyone sees something let me know.
