I use as home built drag once a year to smooth the lawn. Took two 
sections of I beam welded them together with a couple pieces of bar 
stock so they sit level with the flanges vertical. Then I welded a few 
rings to the back and attached a length of chain length behind that.
It works good for dirt and in the winter I use it to groom snowmobile 
trails as well. Just take the blocks off so it doesn't dig in as much.
