That's all I could find. There must be a more technical name for it.

Maybe its a seed bed conditioner??? I've always wondered what it really was,too. I did some more research.

Here at the horse farm we use a pulverizer and chain drag for the arenas , 3-4 in of sand on lime stone. I saw something simular to the do-all on the link except only 6-8 ft wide , 3 point tractor hitch . Might visit a couple local horse farms with either indoor or outdoor arenas , they might have something they might rent you . If I see my boss today I'll ask if he knows what they are called ,I'll PM if I find anything out. Might try Googleing "equestrian arena" to find out what they're called. Hope this helps , I might try to get to those drags. BTW I'm only maintenance here.

Could use landscape rake with chain-link fence drag behind or I-beam/channel beam w/ chain-link drag. Hope this helps.

That's just one piece of the puzzle.

Every track I ride has a small dozer with a bucket on the front to push forward all the sand/dirt/clay back into the starting area/starting line area, THEN one of those groomers is passed over the whole track.

 

There's a lot of work that goes into grading a track, keeping it level with NO humps is critical.
