We had a 3pt drag when I was growing up that we used on our 8n tractor. It was made with a boom pole to lift and pull, and we used it a lot. The boom pole had a pull bar the width of the drag-8ft as I recall. The drag was made out two 4ft sections of angle iron, vee side down,about 6 lengths of angle iron,as I recall. It flexed in the middle because the 2 sections were side by side.Four 1ft chains attached it to the pull bar, and the boom pole lift had a vee frame the went down to each section. The vee frame(just like the front vee frame-only bigger- that the 3pt supported the boom pole with) attached to the boom pole just past center. It worked great-it would smooth a field,or a yard(we finished hundreds of yards over the years-new homes or remodel jobs).(Our farm was surrounded by growing 50s and 60s suburbia.) It worked great for knocking cow pies apart,too. We also used to drag ball fields with it-smoothing the infield. I guess ,if you can picture my description, maybe you could incorporate a boom pole lift beam into your design and do away with too much chain. Mark.
