drag versus pull type

[55 50 Ron]

I see a lot of use of the term "drag" for pull type implements.

Always irks me a little to see that!! I prefer using the pull type description. Drag is such a drag!!

Pull in transport position, drag when in use?

Old style disks without wheels were called drag disks. Also harrows without wheels were sometimes call drags. We used to pull a "drag" behind the disk to level the dirt.

Here in NW ND a "drag" is a spike- or tine-tooth harrow, regardless of whether it has wheels or not.

The only thing I ever recall being called a "drag" is a this giant flat things with horizontal blades that scrapes and levels the ground... Hmmm...

Here a drag is a drag unless it has wheels then it's a wheel drag.

hardscrabble,

I grew up in north central ND and your description is exactly as I remember for drags.

I get the impression that today some use the term "drag" to mean non 3 point type implements. No one used 3 point implements in ND in the 40s and 50s when I was growing up so everything was pull type even the actual implement called a drag.

You are exactly why some use the term interchangably to designate between mounted equipment or non mounted and some will use that term to mean a pull type without wheels. I grew up in the area most machinery was the pull type, The 3 point for the Fergusom Implements was here but only the Ford And Ferguson tractors had it, Deere not yet.

Here..with wheels- pull type. No wheels -drag type..UNLESS your SELLING,then their ALL pull type (theoreticaly worth more money). IF your BUYING of course they are all drag type,(since they are theoreticaly worth less). LOL

Is that type equipment only used by people dressed "in drag"?
 

[davida]

I think the tractor does the pulling and the implement did the dragging along the ground.

But I could be wrong.
 

[Drag?]

When you carry a man purse, it's a drag implement.
