I made a drag by using 2 4x6" treated 8' lumber laid on the flat, and I put holes every 6", and put a railroad spike in so it stuck out about 2-2 1/2" on the bottom. The holes in the rear 4x6 is offset from the front by 3" so that there's a spike every 3" as you drag. I used 2-2x6's on each side about 6' long, and on the very rear is a treated 6x6 with the front bottom corner having a slight bevel on it for final finishing. I also have a 2x6 on top of the 4x6's with the spikes in them to keep them from coming out. There are diagonal braces on the rear to keep it from flexing, and I used lag screws to assemble it. Most of the wood was slightly used, so I spent little on it. I got the spikes from abandoned railbeds. (NO, they were holding any track down...) I put in cast and threaded eyebolts to pull it with a log chain. It works really well, and cost me very little. I usually add a couple hundred pounds of weight to keep it from bouncing or bucking. Use whatever weight works best for you. If you go to the tractor photos and search for "45 Farmall M And Home Made Harrow" there's a pic of it before I added the extra 6x6 on the rear. You can see how nice it smoothed out my garden.

Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint.
