John, A True Sand Fighter is a contraption the Farmers in the South High Plains of Texas, Okla.panhandle, S W Kansas, S E Colo., use for break up the surface tension of sand country after a Plastering rain and the soil surface is beat flat. At that point with no clods left to break up the wind @ the soil surface that causes to sand to start blowing. This contraption is a frame with a center shaft, with 3 paddles welded to it (like a 3 bladed airplane prop) the paddles are spaced about 7 to 8 in apart in a twisting rotation fashion from the one before it. they are light wt and pretty wide I have seen some 35 ft wide. Most are tow models, used and left in a particular field corner till the next time it is needed. Since the mid 80s with the advent of the folding 3pt Rotary Hoes, it will do much the same work as a Sand Fighter but had better portability that the older Sand Fighters.Hope this helps! Later, John A.
