Has anyone ever made a homemade drag out of chain fence? I picked up 20 feet of chain fence for $10 off of craigslist to use for a drag. I will use whatever is left over to fence off apple trees i intend to plant in the future. If you've made one in the past, could you please post a picture and let me know how well/not well it works? I plan to replicate the below picture except have a 2x4 or 2x6 where the chain connects to the black piece...
My dad made one when we put in our new lawn, it seemed to work better once we added concrete blocks to the back for extra weight.
Not for plots but I made one for grading the road. Used a section of heavy duty fence and 6 railroad ties chained together. Worked pretty good
I've made a couple of them now. I just built this one the other week. The hitch bar is one that is built for an ice fishing sled. I had it laying around already so borrowed it for this project but you could just as easily use a couple lengths of light chain, rope, or dog run cable with crimped ends. In total outside of the hitch I have maybe $25 into it. I used scrap 2x4 for the front, two eye hooks, two cheapo carabiners, 4' of scrap 4x4, and I bought a 10' length of chain link from Menards for $20.
