[AT] Help with a Drag Harrow

[Ralph Goff]

That does sound like a lot to pay for a harrow. You could pick up any number 
of them used at farm auction sales here for next to nothing as not many 
farmers use this type harrow anymore. I have several laying around the farm 
here too. These are called a "diamond harrow" due to the design of the 
frame. About 3 and a half foot coverage I believe. Used to pull 15 of them 
on a drawbar to cover 50 feet.
