Homemade implements

[bowhunter73]

After talking to some people new to food plots lately I remembered I too tried to make/rig-up different things to help disk, drag, or remove vegetation when I did not have the right tools for the job.
Please share your inventions that worked for you here to help others trying to build their dream. Pics too if you have them, There is no such thing as a bad Idea just some that didn’t work.
 Thanks

Good thinking, cheap, will last forever and hold-up. I am guessing it works too. Wish I had thought of that years ago

I just bought a old drag section from a farmer for 15 bucks. You can also use a box spring. The ones without the cloth of coarse. You can also use a section out of a chain link fence. Happy farming.

I'm a metal worker, and had some steel laying around the farm, so I welded up this drag.
The top frame flips over to hook onto the wheeler.......

i don't have any picks but i have used a bed mattress with block and once i used a chunk of a tree with the branches cut off at about 8 inches. just pulled it from the top side behind the wheeler. use about a 8-10 foot tree with good size branches and trunk. this worked really good for breaking new ground as its small and makes some good gouges so you can take a disc to it later and it makes it a lot easier. It wont do your whole plot but for digging a new smaller plot i would use this before i used the disc.

Does it have something to keep it up? It looks like it sits in the dirt. Wheels or a plate of some sort

It has skids on it to keep it up. It cuts the clover at about 8"
