Well, after some searching of the junk bins at farm dealers as well as calling some guys who have combines for a while - I came up empty handed. I was looking for a feeder house chain to make into a drag with no luck. So I went to a local New Holland dealer here and found what I had originally wanted. Chain harrows....the correct size for a garden tractor or compact. They are brand new (salesman used them once at his house on his lawn), so I got a discount of $95.00 which was great for me. So $195.00 later, I had a "slightly" used set of chain harrows with a "brand spank'n new" tow bar. I hooked this up on Saturday morning and went to work. Still on Sunday I was still making dust (as you can see by how dirty the poor 982 is). They work GREAT! I think I can even use them on the grass in the spring to rough it up a little to let the air in to encourage some new growth. I think these are well worth the money!

Just to give you an idea of how large of an area I need to seed down....... imagine the size of a 982 compared to the area of solid ground! I think you can see why I did NOT want to have to rake this by hand anymore than I need to.

I wanted to take a picture of the wagon load of stone I picked this morning, but the battery was dead in the camera. Some of you might have seen my wagon in other pictures I have posted....same one, picture it heaped almost 2 feet above the top of the wooden stake sides. It was all I could do to keep the rocks in it. The 982 handled the load just fine too. It grunted once when I started up the hill in the back where I go to dump the rocks - but I came through in the end just fine!
