Member Posts: 45 Location: Missouri	Has anyone had any experience with this type of equipment to work up your arena? We currently use a spring tooth harrow & were just thinking about getting something a little nicer. Thanks for any input!

Lived to tell about it and will never do it again Posts: 5408	We had one for a couple of years. If you have hard ground you will be replacing a lot of shanks. The way the roller on the back is it keeps the front from digging in more then about 4 inches. I took out on bolt on each side so that it would flop back and not keep the tool from going into the ground. I think the problem with most of these types of things is that they are made more for indoor type ground and not the kind of outdoor ground that we have.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 333	i have one..works great for us. We can dig down as far as we want but our tractor isn't powered enough for ours (only around 30 horse). We don't use the top part due to horse power..but we love the drag. Can't beat the price. The roller does a nice job.

I had to experiment with ours to get it to work right. The drag itself should be heavier but it does work well iwth some lbs added.

The roller wouldn't adjust up high enough to allow the front end to go in the ground very deep without having the tool set really low in front. It held the tool out of the ground. Once the ground got some depth to it it was a great tool to work out the tracks and made it look very "groomed". We bought a reveal arena tool that was like new at an auction for $700 so we sold the tarter.
