Amazing Find.............a Drag Harrow

[Wyobuckaroo]

Nice find......
Looking at the pictures, I wonder if it is made up of 2 pieces. You may be able to separate the rear half off and fashion a simple set of arms to raise it up when used behind a 3pt disk........

Good luck

It is two pieces. I'm thinking of welding them together. I don't have the 3PH arms because of BH clearance problems.

I got to use the drag harrow again yesterday, seeding rye grass on the dam. It is worth it's weight in gold.

G'day Brandi. I use my drag harrow every fortnight to break up my horse's droppings after I've shifted them to the next paddock. It's great to spread but still leaves enough 'balls' to be a wee bit fustrating.

Then I discovered that my lawn tractor does a wonderful job of smashing (mulching) those balls up! So that's the routine now; harrow to break-up + spread, then mulch to really break up all of the 'goodness'.

I'll also use the harrow after I seed, as you've done. As you've said, it's a simple implement worth it's weight in gold.

Wagtail,
Lawnmowers are great tools that have a lot of extra uses. How's the weather treating Y'all Down Under? How many horses do you have?

Weather-wise it's "supposed to be" late spring and warming up. No such luck except for the odd teasing. I went 2 weeks (fortnight) without a wood-heater fire on and then last Thursday had to put it on for a few days. Heaps of rain though, so my tanks are chockers.

I've got 2 thoroughbred horses. One for riding pleasure & the other one is his paddock-mate... and I'll stop there as I could go on & on about them. :laughing:

Chockers?:laughing: That's a new one on me. Chockers as in chock full. I had an ex boss who was British. He had all kinds of different words.:confused3: Rubbish for Trash. Torch for flashlight.
Nice hearing, again, from our tractor friends Down Under.:thumbsup:

The drought is almost over here in Southeast Texas. My ponds are full and were overflowing two weeks ago.

bindian--live in Northern New England for a while. There are almost no pronounced "R's" except where they do not belong. For example is cah for car or hoss for horse. On the other hand is sewerage for sewage. Go figure.

I knew I was out of Texas when I went up to Alantic City once TDY and asked for ice tea. They bought out a cup of hot tea with almost melted ice cubes in the cup. That stuff was gross.

G'day sixdogs! The dropping of the last 'R' is standard for speaking Aussie, ie: Cairns (Queensland) is pronounced like 'Cans'. We also shorten a lot of words and slap an 'ie' or 'o' on the end. So 'breakfast' becomes 'breakie' or a 'Bottle Shop' (liquor store) becomes a 'Bottle-o'.

And don't get me started on 'expressions'. I could go on half an arvo on 'Fair Dinkum' alone! :confused2:
