Arena Drag?

[Circle C]

Getting close to having the rest of our arena footing hauled in, so I am in the market for an arena drag. I've seen some home made ones, and some commercially made ones.   I have a 6'  tiller to break up any hard packed footing, just need something now that will take care of the top 3-4" and help with leveling.

Looking for feedback/ opinions on what type of drag you use, and your likes/ dislikes.

Here are some that I have found so far.

Also interested in seeing any designs for homemade drags.

the 4 in 1 would be my choice i used one a few years ago, when i was putting on some QH shows they are great. you can get your ground even no hard spots

 We had one that you could pull behind a tractor but my favorite one was the one that James made to pull behind our 4 wheeler. The fingers on it were railroad spikes. I will see if a can get a picture of it.

Chris, sence you have got a tiller the Arena Werks drag will work very well. They are great for top dressing and leveling an arena surface IF you have got all the hard spots taken care of. The 4 in 1 is a great tool if you don't have a tiller or have ground that packs bad.

4 in 1 would be best, then the Parma. I'd avoid the third. Never used one but have seen them used.
Keep in mind, anything PTO driven is speed specific and likely slow to use. Like your tiller, have to go pretty slow. I was thinking a good drag harrow would be cheapest and can run as fast as you want with tractor or mule/wheeler. You'd have to plow it occasionally but just scratch it up and smooth it out nicely.
You could make you a nice one with heavy wall pipe, some chainlink and a bunch of heavy spikes welded on the bottom.

Chris, here is the best one on the market.
