Homemade trail groomer / drag, made from 7 bed frames 2.5 road signs, and about worth of nuts and bolts. Almost everything on this groomer / drag was acquired by freecycleing. Updates from part one: Video quality, compactor pan size, electric actuator, strobe light. Special thanks to www.danosongs.com for the Royalty free background music.

dam fine job
Pretty awesome! Can you make me one??
Does a real nice job!
And you’re right, the beacon does make it look more professional
Can you attach the trailer to a snowmobile? Sorry for my bad english i am from norway you now.
I’ve never seen a “trailer” attached to a snowmobile, I’ve seen sleighs, being pulled behind snowmobiles. I’m not sure if this answers your question.
Do you have any drawings.
@oldskhoolcamaro84
I had drawings, though I don’t know where they are anymore. I would not have been able to design this thing without drawings.
sweet little drag…really well done
you should put wheels on and make it so they can move up and down so you can have different depth of snow
Nice Job, must of looked at the vid a dozen times. I was wondering, all the weight of the drag is on the actuator ? How much weight can it handle ?
@glennmccr
The actuator is rated for 500lbs. The entire Drag weighs about 200-250Lbs. The Actuator normally has a about a 50lb load on it. There are times when I am grooming over moguls where I worry about overloading the actuator. I hope the bolts or a weld holding the actuator in place break before I reach the 500lb rating.
Belle patente bravo!
Good job !!
Nice design and a very well done video. Proof that a snow drag does not have to be heavily constructed to do a good job. The actuator is essential in order to do a good job without getting stuck all the time. Is the 500 lb rated actuator hanging in well? I went with the 1000/3000 lb rated one on mine, but I think I probably could have got by with the less costly 500/1000 lb one like you have. I’ll try to attach a link to a vid of mine if I can figure out how to do it.
