Split Log Drag Proven Easy Road Maintenance Aid
The Split-log drag, urged by the Office of Public Roads, is shown as a simple, cheap, effective method to keep earth roads smooth. Instructions cover light construction from cedar or other woods, proper slab cutting, stake placement for setback, and chaining hitching to guide soil toward the road center for better leveling. Regular dragging after rain or when soil is soft preserves road quality.
