Here's one half-finished. Some snowplow edges were in in a friends surplus-auction win. He gave them to me and I bolted up the iron parts to make a simple land plane/driveway drag. It works great. I'll improve the design a little then weld it solid. In particular, I need to move the bars and diagonals so material that runs off the end of one bar dumps to the next one.

I pull this from the drawbar under the differential. Plus there are additional slack chains that go over the ends of the loader forks to the mid-point of the drag, to lift it for tight turns.

Very similar to a drag we used for 10-12 years to maintain our well traveled cottage road.Here's one half-finished. Some snowplow edges were in in a friends surplus-auction win.
