OK, not snow removal in the pure sense, but has anyone ever tried using a chain drag harrow to level out the snow after use? This is the implement I'm talking about, usually used for pastures or gravel drives:
ATV 4 ft. x 4 ft. Chain Harrow with 4 ft. Drawbar at Tractor Supply Co.
I owned an 8x8 one of these in the past so I am generally familiar with them, but I never tried it in winter and don't own it now.
My interest is in leveling out tracks made by snowmobiles and/or snowshoeing on my own property, so it's easy to ride or hike on again. With repeated snowmobile use, moguls form just like the stutter bumps on a dirt road. On public trails these are removed with big grading-style rigs (trail groomers). I don't need to pack down the snow or make it ice rink flat, I would just like a way to get it basically level for re-use. I have a utility snowmobile with a hitch, so yes I could pull one without getting stuck.
Anyone?
