    Questions about chain harrow capabilities.

    I would have to disagree on being a great tool for the driveway. Although I did discover a rather unintended outcome. I found the spikes when used in non-agressive mode, left scratches down my limestone screaning driveway. Which I didn't like the look of, but it didn't affect ride quality...

    Questions about chain harrow capabilities.

    I found grass a nuisance for my harrow, simply getting caught on the spikes. Plus, no matter what you do, the teeth are just too few and far apart. I'm not sure I would buy it having known what I know now. I have used it upside down, to smooth out landscaping work. But really, dragging just...

    Now that there is corrosion in amidst the copper strands, it is worrysome. I don't really want to undo all the OEM loom and tye wraps back to the starter. Pet peeve of mine, owner (or worse, mechanic) repaired wiring. I wish I could find a battery clamp with set screws. Then heat shrink it.
