A lot of food plot seeds need to be buried fairly shallow - 1/4" - 1/2". I have a disc, a springtooth and a drag to till the soil. I needed something with a lighter touch to cover the seed. I used a scrap piece of angle iron for the front attachment point. I bolted the chains together every couple of feet with 5/16" bots. I put a piece of PVC across the center of it to keep the chains spread apart. I cut the PVC in the middle (and put a smaller diameter PVC pipe in the middle) so it could flex with the ground. It smooths and covers nicely.

That's well thought out. I bet it does a good job. I'll guess that it does a good job raising dust also. I made a square drag out of 4x4's. It does a good job also and really raises Holy dust.

Did someone say tire chains?? I resemble that remark!!
Mine was built to spread piles of horse manure, and beautify gravel,,
