I’m in sandy soil and I’m having issues with dadgum gophers and pigs. I was going to build a drag (10’) out of I beam ( 5’ in front attached to a 10’ on the rear) but I’m hearing that a tandem split pipe should suit my needs better. I do treat ( kill ) gophers with my gopher plow but the last 2 years have been banner for gopher reproduction. If any of you have the tandem split rug please post a pic . I”ll be pulling with my ballasted L6060 . Thanks in advance

Probably not what you're looking for but I had 3 different drags at one time. Imo the heavier the better.

This metal John Deere is way better than a wooden one I had. I had a major gopher problem on my farm. Took a year but the 17mm and the farm cat took care of all of them. I'm concerned on using poisons between my animals and the neighbors. I saw online a spoonful of baking soda and corn bread mix with a little bit of seed or peanut butter mixed in is an effective safe way to get rid of rodents. So far 6 months of using it in my machine shed I had 0 evidence of critters around.

I found my .308 or my 5.56 useing some hot loads the best thing for hogs.
My late FiL kept an old 9n Ford with some flexible exhaust pipe . He would put the flex pipe in the gopher run & leave the motor running till it ran out of gas.
