I purchased this to drag/level an area of the yard which was about 1/2 acre. I did not load the drag up with blocks and was careful about snagging roots, rocks, ect. Once the area was mostly raked and cleared of hard to move objects i added 30-40lbs and continued to work the dirt. Over all worked well for dirt, I dont think it will work on a hard packed stone crete drive. The gage of iron just isnt strong enough but the price reflects that.
