Purchased this drag harrow this winter to spread manure piles in horse paddocks. Have only used it once on each section. Had previously used a drag that simply cut the top of a pile off, leaving a compacted base. This device spreads each pile out evenly on the first pass. Plan to use it on a gravel drive to even the surface and will likely find other uses for the drag as time moves forward. At this time, it has met all my expectations.
