The Split Log Drag For Road Maintenance In State
The split log drag has contributed more toward the economic maintenance of public roads than any modern implement. It requires no special acts, bonds, or costly campaigns to be usable. A drag can be built or bought cheaply and operated by anyone who can drive a team. We need more drags in this state.
