Tractor
Kubota M4900
I am thinking pipe and concrete as the main guts of it. I thought about getting some 2" pipe and welding some rebar around it to it to make a internal frame. I would then insert that into a much larger pipe. Fill with concrete. Then take some heavy rod and insert it into each 2" pipe end. Then bend it around and weld the two for a tow point.

I will be using it for about 8 acres of food plots twice a year. I will be using the Kubota M4900 to pull it. I also plan on building a drag out of a good sized tree trunk and attaching multiple tires behind it.

Thoughts.

They are not that expensive. I bought two wing units, four foot sections for a hundred bucks each. (with a couple spare wheels ) I can pull both offset which covers seven feet or one with the garden tractor for small areas. Works real well for me.

Hmmm, my 4" axle brillion was $200 used turnkey, and I believe the pointed wheels help break the up the large clods, what you are describing is a cement roller...just guessing but maybe that would push the clods it the soft, tilled dirt underneath. Could you use 18" corrugated steel culvert for the outside?

Yep that's it. The corrugated pipe would work well. Basically I just want to press seed firmly into the ground. Good soil to seed contact. I will be breaking up the dirt clods with the tires.
