Went to drags this summer. You can get 1dz sabot tooth ( not the juniors) drags from F&T for under $100. I put 10ft of #3 machine chain on mine but #2 machine chain will work fine. Longer is better. If I had it to do over Id put 15ft of chain on them. It tangles and drags close to the ground and let’s the teeth dig in better. Dint you make if few based off that video I did ? Curious to know if you've gotten chance to use them? I have three of them out now. No coyotes yet but did have a Big raccoon. He didn’t even move it lol ! I found a place that has 1 inch rebar. Think I’m going to make a few out of that. Cut down on some of the cutting and welding by going with a single piece.

Ok, I can get a dozen 10ft #5 with associated hardware for $170, includes shipping. Now that’s doesn’t include drags yet, lol. I’m guessing this will last a good long while, like my lifetime I’m hoping. Thats WAY to much. 5 is good chain. But # 3 foreign is like 500 lbs rated. And at 59 a 100 ft. FNT or MB will have to be cheaper on # 5. IF you insist on # 5 chain

Man I don’t have a clue what I need, hence this post. You’re probably more familiar with our size coyotes and terrain than most, so if you say 3 will work I’ll go with 3. Heck I thought all the coyotes I’d been catching were “pups” or young if the year until I actually caught a pup, lol. I can think of 3 coyotes that were sho’nuff what I’d consider a good size and they were all males. I catch coons that weigh more than the coyotes and bobcats I catch…on average. Glad I didn’t hit “order” yet! Guess if the #3 doesn’t work I can always upgrade to #5. It’s only money, lol. Just checked. # 5 chain is = 79.99 for 100 ft at FNT. # 3 foreign is 53 dollars a 100 ft. I knew 170 sounded BAD high ! LoL
