Natural Footing
For Any Discipline
Purposefully Engineered
Design features methodically designed in a specific order to effortlessly create smooth, even ground–every time.
1. Leveling Blade
Oversized with boxed in sides, the leveling blade allows you to carry material without spilling out the sides to properly level your arena. We have found this to be a huge timesaver.
2. Water Manifold
Strategically placed behind the leveling blade and in front of the ripper teeth. This allows you to level DRY material, then apply water, and lastly ripper teeth mix in moisture properly. Our water tank is designed to be low profile. This allows the operator to see over the tank and helps distribute weight evenly. We find this to be a key feature in overall balance.
3. Ripper Teeth
Breaks up compacted footing and rolls material to incorporate moisture evenly. Why ripper teeth and not rods? Ripper teeth last longer and are readily available anywhere, avoiding costly shipping and downtime. Also, unlike standard rods, the teeth roll the material over and mix it. Adjusting our teeth is easier and safer than ever. Simply pull the pin out and adjust in ⅛” increments without getting your pants dirty or needing any additional tools.
4. Unique Blade Roller
Our chopping blade roller is designed to break up clods and fluff material to create soft, chunk free footing that we all love to see. Smoothing bars alone are not enough to break up chunks of dirt to our standards.
5. Walking Beam Suspension
Stabilizes the drag over high and low spots ensuring an even, professional-grade finish even on uneven ground. We added a 2nd set of ripper teeth behind the tires to relieve some of the work of the profile blade after the tires have passed over the material. This increases the longevity of your profile blade.
6. Profile Blade
Our custom profile blade material is stronger than ever, eliminating time and money for replacements. Our profile blade can be adjusted not only up and down but can also be tilted 5 degrees forward or 5 degrees backwards. This allows for cutting a base or packing a base with ease.
7. Smoothing Rods
The smoothing rod hangers are specifically placed to prevent catching on the fence, cones or other objects in the arena. The finishing rods put the final touch to create a smooth, beautiful arena.
8. Hitch Design
Our hitch is designed to stay flat on the tractor's drawbar no matter the position of the drag. This reduces wear and eliminates the need to replace the hitch.
