Back Into The Light & Air - Vintage Drag Harrow Breaks Free
Biceps not to scale. "Not strong enough to haul back"? Mouth must not have caught up with the fact that the there was now two essential pieces. On review I think I could heft one and carry ... with super-double-rendundant precautions of avoiding those horror movie spikes.
Summary? A yet-recognizable, mostly-intact legacy tool with documented use by the farm. Used to be another garden spot down there, I'm told. Harrow left at last use as operations faded. Got a great "Ah, that's where I left it"-type comment from owner like we would misplace car keys (but bet it's location would be tagged after 30 seconds thought). Harrow was still half-buried at that point.
Other than digging out a piece of metal 5x the size first suspected, the dealbreaker had been the combo fencepost/heavy metal bar across one end. Added for weight? Likely. But also to connect the two halves. A little cleaning and squinting will show why they weren't attached together as original ... uh, unless are 2 smaller ones? At any rate, only a casual attachment with thick wires. Once unwound, both metal and post were separate and easy to move.
And the harrow frame easily freed thereafter. I did lever out edges on a previous visit but can't do it en masse without risking some bendage or breakage. Some of the buried iron was really getting eaten away.
