Diy drag

[Bearsixty7]

Here's one I made years ago out of scrap I had.
I just bought some Rough sawn oak 4x4's last week in MO. to replace the old treated pine ones that are cracked, broken and worn out. It has provisions to add some weights to it, although these new oak posts are so heavy, probably won't need to use any.
I'll have to take another picture this weekend of it in use when I replace the 4x4's

Here it is as Rev2. Upgraded the hitch so it can be backed up and near 90 degree turns can be made without hitting the wheel of the JD or ATV.

A 3-"blade" version should be better than the common 2-blade type. All the weight will be on the center when crossing a hump for better cutting. And the center will be suspended at a dip, letting the material go under to fill the dip.

Old piece of train track, skidder tire chain cut in 1/2 and a piece of tubing of some sort….

ilogs...i do have a set of chains with the ring cleats in them. They are about worn out as far as logging. Came with out Bell Feller Muncher. Yep, we still use one.

When not in use, I would hang it about 4' off the ground, from a tree, outside the front porch.

NO ONE will come knocking at your door.

Here's one I made to lightly drag soil over seed that needs a shallow cover. Angle iron, old tire chains and a piece of PVC pipe.

I was working on the lawn today and needed something a little less aggressive. This worked pretty well. I can lay my big tire on top if I ever need to.

I've made a few.
Both in wood and steel.
Always 3 blades with the center angled so as to 'slice' humps and move the material over to the dips. If the surface is very 'hard packed' teeth can be added on the front blade.
We maintained a well travelled 3 mile dirt road for some 12 years with such a rig while towing behind an old Willis Jeep.
For shock absorbers we used old 12 inch tires and linked the tow chains thru them.
We used 2 chains for better directional control.
