What a nice workshop. The drag is awesome. Seems like you can build anything :) Rick to the rescue for your special cuts. He's a good friend. I always enjoy watching you and Julie create stuff. Thank you so much for sharing! Stay safe.

Thanks 👍 Gerard.

There was no suspense for me, I already saw how good it worked on the homestead channel, great channel by the way. Thanks for sharing the build, and nice job with the torch Julie. Be well guys, and God bless.

recycling A thanks for the comment Jim.

I like that design. Looks like it breaks then funnels the dirt and gravel to the back blade. I saw it working at Rusty Rooster Homestead. Looks like a successful build.

All that welding without a long shirt ? Your arms must be raw eh.As a fabricator this looks fine. It should do what you want. If anything it may need weight on the front and a 3/8 or 1/2 in chain behind the back H beam. Nice build fella !

@@Robinson-Homestead Sounds about right. They don't take much abuse but you have them and the price is right for sure. If they break up too fast the concrete will do great. Just drill some holes to put some rebar through and pour away. I used to make then for behind a road grader servicing the ice roads in the high arctic. 8 in H beam 12 ft wide much like yours. After grading we would drag and then water to maintain 8 inches minimum over the tundra. The 1/2 inch chain behind the last part of the drag really did a lot to level or smooth out the drag action. That really is a great design. At the time I wish I had thought of that. There is actually little snow in the arctic so Ice was the best way to provide a cap on the roads. Unfortunately ice is far more abrasive than dirt so I was making 3 and sometimes 4 drags of 3/8 or 1/2 in wall 8 inch "H" beam a year. I look forward to see yours working again eh.

Hi Kevin I can't find a video of the drag being tested. I'm very curious to see it working, because I also need to build something similar. Regards Gideon Strydom South Africa

@@Robinson-Homestead thanks. Liked to see it work. Another factor to consider, is to raise the point where the a-frame attaches to the drag. Maybe put two lugs on top of the vertical square tubings on the front left and right. That will create a lever action, forcing the front to dig, and lifting the rear. You can control the aggresiveness of the front by lifting the 3point hitch.

FYI hydrochloric acid will removed the zinc (galvanize) coating very quickly.
