Little something to start a discussion. Let's see what others do...

Question:
What do you use to drag the infield?

Choices:
All terrain vehicle
Lawn Mower
Utility vehicle (gator, etc)
Utility tractor
What are you nuts? Just pull the drag by hand!

I wasn’t sure where to mark the poll, so I marked ATV and thought I’d explain. We have a Sand Pro. Of course we got it donated by the local golf course when they bought a new one, and it isn’t as slick as the one in the movie. But ours does have the hydraulic scarifier and rakes, and it does one heck of a job! Wink

A couple of fields around here have hit up the local country clubs and had some success, especially when they get to write off the gift.

Sorry SKeep, you're right.. Couldn't think of what to call it Wink

We'll leave it under "utility vehicle" with an explanation.

I used my truck dragging a chain link fence behind it.

I would say in all my time with baseball - playing and coaching - I have used all at some point. This includes EH's truck during my days in high school. Unfortunately we got in trouble stealing the fence so we had to settle for an old box spring.

My coaches use a golf cart. It works pretty good!

We do, too. Is yours very slow? We just got ours this year and it seems to be a great deal slower than the bunker rake I got used to at my old school.
