Like most infield tasks, the right tool depends upon your field conditions and what your goal is. The table below can guide you for selecting the right drag for the type of work you want to accomplish.▶ Aggressive Renovation: Any soil work that would need deep soil penetration and/or mixing down 2 to 4 inches in the soil profile.
▶ Moderate Renovation: Any soil work that would need shallow soil penetration and/or mixing down 1 to 2 inches in the soil profile.
▶ Day-To-Day Finish Grooming: Strictly grooming of the top 1/2 to 1 inch of infield skin.

Thanks for pointing out that beacon drag spiker would be done in one motion which can be the best option for daily needs. I guess this is the kind of leveling drag that my brother needs for the piece of land he bought this year. It would help him achieve the garden and vegetable area that he wanted to have on one part of it.
