When the road surface Is sufficient
ly hard or the amount Of material
which II Is desired to have the drag
move Is sufficient to warrant the OPP
orator standing upon the drag while 1t
Is In operation, he can greatly facili-
tate Its work by shifting his weight at
proper times. For example, II 1t Is de-
sired to have the drag discharge more
rapidly, the operator should move to-
ward the discharge end of the runners.
This will cause the ditch end of the
runners to swing forward and thus In
crease the skew angle Of the drag.
The operator may, Of course, produce
the opposite effect by moving his
weight In the opposite direction. In
the same way, he can partially control
the amount of cutting which the drog
does by shifting his weight backward
or forward, as the case may be.
An intelligent and interested opera

also learn to utilize effectively every

ROAD
BUILDING
OPERATION OF A ROAD DRAG
Principal Factor 10 Skill on Part o.
opsrator-suuoestIo 0lvsn
40 Guide.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The principal factor In successfully
operating a properly constructed road
drag, provided that the condition OF
the road Is favorable, is skill on the
part Of the operator. Such skill can
be obtained only by intelligent expert
ence In the use Of the drag, and no
rules can be laid down which would
enable an inexperienced operator to
produce first-class results. The fol-
lowing suggestions are intended, there
fore, to serve rather as guide to the
judgment than as q criterion to be i'm.
pllcity followed.
Under ordinary circumstances the
position of the hitching link on the
draw chain should be such that the
runners will make an angle Of from
go to rs degrees with the center line
of the road, or, in other words, skew
angle Of from 10 to 30 degrees. 1t is
apparent that by shifting the position
Of the hitching link the angle Of skew
may be increased or diminished as the
conditions require. When dragging
Immediately over ruts or down the
center Of the road after the sides have
been dragged. 1t Is usually preferable
to have the hitchlng link at the center
Of the chain and to run the drag with
out skew. When the principal pur-
pose Of the dragging is to increase the
crown Of the road, the drag should be
sufficiently skewed to discharge all
material as rapidly as 1t is collected
on the runners. On the other hand, II
depressions occur In the road surface,
the skew may perhaps be advantage.
Ously reduced to q minimum, thus EN-
abling the operator to deposit the ma
terial which collects In front Of the
runners at such points as he desires
by lifting or otherwise manipulating
the drag. Many other examples Of con-
ditions which require notifications In
the angle Of skew might easily be
cited, but these will readily suggest
themselves to an intelligent operator
as his experience increases.
The length of hitch is another very
important consideration In operating a
road drag. In the designs which have
been discussed the draw chain may be
readily taken up or let out at either
end and the length Of hitch thus in
creased or diminished as desired. 1t
is impracticable to prescribe even an
approximate rule for fixing the length
of hitch, because 1t Is materially af.
fected by the height Of the team and
the arrangement Of the harness, as
well as by the condition Of the road
surface. Experience will soon teach
the operator, however, when to short
