... and tight turns.

No harm was done, but I thought I'd share my experience.

My chain harrow's drag bar isn't very far behind my rear tires. On tight turns it can (and did) touch the tires and get pulled up under the fender. I was moving slowly, and watching to the rear and was able to stop before anything got bent or broken.

I'm going to use a length of chain from the drawbar to the harrow so that the drag bar is about two feet further back. It could still happen because my 870 has a tight turning radius, but it will reduce the chances.
