Built up a 3pt lift for my chain harrows.

Brilliant very nice job ! I drag a old piece of chain link fence around .it breaks up horse manure but since i can't lift it it makes a mess moving between fields

My chain harrow is 12' wide and a struggle to handle between fields. I have to roll it up, then lift it with the FEL. Although having a 3PH lift for it would be convenient, I suspect I'd have trouble with my gates; they are wide enough, but I have to turn fairly sharply coming out of the fields, which could be a problem with a long, wide harrow back there.

if you have rear remotes it would be easy to do one that folds in the middle or wings that fold up with a hyd cylinder.

I like the design, and being able to just lift the 3pt up when going field to field would be great. My biggest concern would be storage. Currently, my brother just hangs his drag on the wall of the barn. Adding a frame might make hanging hard to do, and would take up a lot of room on the floor. Now that fold up ideal might be worth thinking about.

I don't need a chain harrow at the moment. But when I do, I've often thought how easy it would be just to rig it up with my boom pole. I would think it would be simple to hook and unhook it from the boom pole.

Thanks Wagtail. I don't see your link but I guess I must have missed that one a few years back.

If my feeble memory serves, the thread was soon after I joined TBN... March - May of '13.

It wasn't a frame but used 4 chains from the end to pick up the middle & end of the harrow.
