Drag screen

[green 4 acres]

I welded up a 3/8 rebar screen to smooth the earth worm mounds down in the dry time

Good work. There is nothing like building something out of a pile of nothing.

That looks good. Does it work well? I welded up some old pipe I had a few weeks ago and made a drag with old chain link fence. I had to add weight to it so I added an old railroad tie. Here's a pic of it in use behind the 102:

Nice work guys! Good to see people being creative.

Way back when Dad built our house, my task at 10 years old was to get the lawn ready for seeding.
I spent many many hours running all over the dirt-to-be-lawn with a bed box spring after Dad burned off the burnable stuff.
It had a bunch of 1.5"x1.5"x1/8" angle irons running cross wise in a perimeter frame. We just piled cement blocks on it until the new CC- 125 could not pull it in the new dirt, then took a few off.
It worked amazingly well now that I think about it.

They used one of those drags to smooth the infield for church league softball when I was a kid.

I think it will work ,now it is wet and i tried it ,it seems to float over the grass . But it did clear them out on the green . In late summer the mounds will shatter easilyer. I saw a big improvement where I ran over it 4-5 times ...more seat time !!

I was thinking of adding some angle iron to mine on the bottom, but I use mine to try and smooth out the ground after running a box blade etc.
