[AT] Help with a Drag Harrow

[Easley, Greg]

You've answered your own question.  All you need is a section of chain
link fence, a piece of
pipe or rod to stiffen the leading edge, a chain, and a bit of scrap to
weight it down.

Subject: [AT] Help with a Drag Harrow

    I am the ultimate city-slicker, so please bear with me.
    This spring, we will be seeding about an eighth of a mile of a wide
ditch.  I've been told that after seeding that I should run a drag
harrow over the seed bed to help cover the seed.  Unless I can find
another use for this harrow, I'll probably never use it again.
    The prices range anywhere from nearly $200 to $500 for a 4-foot drag
harrow.  I've never seen one before but looking at the pictures, it's
hard for me to imagine that  there is enough material there to justify
that kind of cost.  It looks like a section of chain link fence.
    Has anyone ever made one? Can it be made for less than the price of
a manufactured one?

Thanks!
