I must give credit to the guy who made this YouTube video:
I added a piece of C perlin at the front that is 3/4" aboce ground level, thinking it will kind of act like a mini box blade and distribute some material, the next piece of angle rests on the ground, the next is 1/4" above ground, the last sets on the ground and is slightly angled back to help carry some material and also cut in a little more.
I may add a piece of "hog panel" behind it as well.
I love it!! I was eyeing some things like that when I went on the hunt for material. I have some really big pallets that would have probably done just as good of a job.
I built this drag out of 4x4's, plywood & large spikes. I drag it around with my ATV. Spikes down if busting tilled land. Spikes up if leveling off those nasty pocket gopher mounds. View attachment 646849
You sir are correct, I added some bracing. I think this should do the trick.
I debated it yesterday but was thinking that I would just be dragging sand, what's the worst that could happen? You are totally correct, Murphey's law will prevail.
I had some thin angle iron laying around, didn't even cut it, should work to add some rigidity.
