[shortthrow50]

I know people use these to tow behind a tractor to scrap and rough up horse crap but i dont what its called. Found it in the woods on my new property. Is it worth anything at all? would like to sell it if it is? probably not worth a dime though

It is a pasture drag harrow,
you can use it aggressively to stir
up the cow pies or horse hockey pucks
and dig a bit in the sod or simply flip it up
and over and use the smooth side to break
up manure pies.

Nice find. You might want to keep and use it.
You can also use it to smooth dirt(non aggresive side) helps fill in low spot and grab some larger debris out, and plant grass or food plots for deer(aggressive side) gives you rows for the seed. I use mine for my making my trails, maintaining them, and for doing a quick smooth before planting new grass.

Chain harrow. That's just one 4x4 section (16sf). I had an 8' tow bar pulling 4 sections, for a total of 64sf. Besides pasture grooming, I also used it on my gravel farm roads. Tines down to scratch out the weeds, tines up to subsequently smooth the gravel that was just stirred up.

Good fined, I tow mine behind my grader or my box blade just for that little extra touch

I went to the hospital several years ago to vist my neighbour who owned the above mentioned chain harrow.

It was laying in the tall grass and he was wearing black NON safety rubber boots. He stepped straight down HARD on a pointed chain. Lets just say he ruined the boot.
A hole in through the sole and out through the top with his foot in the middle.

I would say it's worth well more than $200.00. If you had to buy new, closer to $400.00
