XC drag build

[ArlyA]

The fellow or runs the school shop and lets us in, is nursing an injury and doesn't want to be in the shop. So I went back to my real job and might not get back in there until Monday......

I was in the school shop one day this week and got much done, but no pics. School starts back up on Monday and I'll be there and tentatively get in completed enough for a test run new week sometime. Our forecast is pretty white.

As promised, I was in school today and some work was done on this implement.

The cutting frames are made from 2x3x1/4 angles and will have cutting teeth mounted on them.

This is the mian frame which was painted and ready to go out the door. Lots of plastic needs to be mounted which will take time before a test run can be made..

Late today, this frame was moved into the paint booth. This holds the harrow teeth and might be done , nonetheless, it will get painted on Tuesday.

I've got the harrow frame and main frame in my work shop now to get plastic and various parts mounted. Might even get that portion tested today. No actuators involved.

A short video of it in action would be nice.

I moved into a shop at my work place and got the drag assembled enough to give it a test run Saturday morning. Its the harrow frame and teeth of course that will be tested..

Shoes covered with 3/8 HDPE.

Da frame and harrow teeth.

In this pic you can see the skags were installed.

Looks great, Arly!

Denise, did you note the closer tooth positions were used?

We are planning to head out this am for a test run, but I might have to roll in advance. We have been receiving normal snow, which is a few inches per day. So we're having a near normal winter so far.

No videos will be taken. Sorry that we don't know how to do them.
