Anyone with a drag harrow lift?

I'm looking for a 6' wide drag harrow and the 3pth lift looks handy but typically doubles cost and flail rake is shorter.

Thoughts?

I've thought of using a boom pole to pick up a chain harrow to move it around. You would have to build a frame to hang the chain harrows from, and then suspend the chain harrow from the frame. After that, just rig up a way to suspend the harrow frame from the boom pole. I would think that a drag harrow could be rigged up in the same manner.

Here are two pictures of an 8' harrow I made a couple of years ago. Built it for about $250 and I Match compatible.

Not a great picture, but sort of gives you an idea of what it looks like. Works just fine.

I use mine all the time to maintain a long caliche driveway. I leave the boom pole on the tractor most of the time. Just back over the harrow, hook the chains, raise it up and take off (less than 1 minute to hook up). To cut the chain lengths, I lowered the boom all the way, then measured and added about 1 ft on each chain to allow some slack when the harrow was on he ground. These heavy chain harrows will do surprising nice work.

When I want a little more "bite", I throw on old semi tire on top.

Check out Farm King implements. They should have a picture of a set of harrows with a lift.
