these are two pictures of the road drag that I made.

It is based on the split log drag invented by Mr. King back when most
roads were dirt.

You can't quite see it, but there is a piece of .187 x 1.75 steel bar
welded to the front edge. You can see the dirt scraped up by this bar
on the right of the first picture. The bar is welded on so that it
hangs about .500" below the bottom of the 5" channel iron.

The dirt that is scraped up flows to the center of the road and is
smeared flat by the rest of the 5" channel, and the second 5" channel
that follows.

Interesting. I'm guessing that the angle and weight help to keep it
straight behind the single tow line?
