    Arena Drag

    By Conterra

    The Conterra Arena Drag is designed to pull behind ATVs, UTVs, garden and compact tractors. The swept-tine design makes it an aggressive groomer for sandy and sandy-loam arena conditions — three linear surfaces engage in a single pass: two harrow-tine bars and a rear arena comb that leaves a clean, level finish.

    The case for the Arena Drag

    Why arena owners pick the Arena Drag

    Three linear surfaces in a single pass — two rows of swept harrow tines and a rear arena comb that leaves a clean, level finish. Built for the operator who drags every ride, on the equipment most barns already own.

    • Aggressive cut tuned for sand and sandy-loam footing
    • Two harrow rows plus a rear arena comb in one pass
    • Hitches in seconds to any ATV, UTV, garden or compact tractor
    • Replaceable hardened-steel tines and arena combs — wear parts, not throwaway parts
    • Laser-cut 3/16″ steel frame with black powder-coat finish
    • 48″ working width — covers most arenas in a tight pattern

    Engineered efficiency

    Why consistent dragging matters

    Stable footing keeps horses sound. A well-worn path or depression is bound to cause harm — building a dragging habit is healthy for your horses, your riders, and overall arena maintenance. Whether you have natural or synthetic footing, ruts can easily form, and the deeper they become the harder they are to fix.

    Stable footing

    safer rides, longer—lasting surface

    Healthy for your horses

    no ruts, no hot spots, no compaction

    Timing is everything

    drag often, drag light, never let ruts set

    Maintenance habit

    How often should I drag my arena?

    It depends on how many horses use the arena. With a single horse, dragging every 2–3 days will adequately redistribute and level the footing. The more horses you have, the more often you'll need to drag — consistency matters more than aggression. The important thing is to keep the surface as level as possible.

    Frequently asked questions

    What can I pull the Arena Drag with?

    ATVs, UTVs, garden tractors, and compact tractors. It ships with a tow chain and pin for quick connection.

    What footing is it designed for?

    Sand and sandy-loam arena conditions. The swept-tine geometry and rear arena comb are tuned for those surfaces.

    How wide is it?

    Available in a 48″ width with a black powder-coat finish.

    Are the tines and combs replaceable?

    Yes. Tines are 5/8″ × 7.5″ hardened steel and the 6″ arena combs are cut from 3/16″ steel plate — both are easily replaced as wear parts.

    How often should I drag my arena?

    With one horse, every 2–3 days is enough. With more horses or heavier use, drag more often. The goal is to keep the surface as level as possible — consistency matters more than aggression.

    What's the lead time?

    Groomers are built to order. Expect 6–8 weeks for production and delivery. Shipping is calculated prior to delivery.

    Is there a warranty and brochure?

    Yes — the Arena Drag is covered by Conterra's limited warranty, and a full product brochure is available on request.
