Used & recommended by leading organizations like the AQHA, NRHA, Lazy E Arena, and many of the industry’s top horsemen, the Dragmaster is the world’s premier arena drag! With all the features of the Dragmaster, you can easily create proper depth, consistent moisture content, and footing consistency to create a safe, healthy, and beautiful arena footing for your horses.
When we put it out on the track to test it, it was absolutely fantastic. There’s a lot of things happening. It’s grooming, it’s leveling, and then it’s dragging it all in one. And at the same time, particularly in Australia it can get pretty warm. It was very dusty, so there’s a water jet at the back that can help just suppress the dust when you’re maintaining the track.
Revolutionary Design & Industry Exclusive Features include Motor Grader Style Ground Plane: The pull behind design offers a long distance between the tractor wheels and the Dragmaster wheels. The leveling blade sits in between these wheels creating the perfect ground plane that is critical for level consistent footing. The Independently Controlled Hydraulic Leveling Blade is independent from the frame and other ground engaging components. This enables precision leveling without changing the conditioning depth.

The ABI Dragmaster is shown fully equipped. This is the configuration most of our customers will need. However, some customers may not need all the included features so they may be removed from the ABI Dragmaster. Some indoor arenas that have pure sand may not need the hydraulic scarifier system. Indoor arenas that have an overhead watering system may not need the PTO water system. Although these features may be removed to lower the purchase price ABI recommends the fully equipped configuration for the vast majority of our customers.
Ground-Engaging Components
Possible Configurations
H.P. Rating
Limited Warranty
The Dragmaster’s independently-adjustable ground-engaging components can be precision-adjusted from the frame for ultimate control! After the hydraulic leveling and grading blade creates a level traveling surface, the adjustable grooming rods, scarifiers, profile blade, and drag bars systematically pulverize, re-grade and loosen the footing, reinforce the base, and create the ideally-cushioned footing profile!
Break Up The Hardest Compacted Material
The Dragmaster’s available hydraulic scarifier bar breaks up the hardest compacted material for when an arena sees heavy use or hasn’t been properly loosened for a time. The bar is independently adjustable from the rest of the components, enabling them to be engaged or disengaged easily. The replaceable tips are made from a hardened, wear-resistant steel.
Slice Through Material From The Bottom Up
The patented Profile Blades of the Dragmaster can loosen 100% of the arena footing with every pass! No longer does an operator have to make multiple passes to loosen all the footing. The Profile Blades slice through material from the bottom up, not the top down. This eliminates all ridges in the footing, allowing the footfall of the horse to be flat and perfect every time!
Leave A Signature Finish
The Drag bars of the Dragmaster are designed to leave a signature finish while filling in any remaining small holes. These bars can be adjusted to apply the perfect amount of pressure to the footing depending on the footing consistency and moisture level.
Regulate The Amount Of Water In Your Footing
The available PTO watering system regulates the amount of water in your footing, which is critical to its strength, cushion, and rebound, not to mention dust control! The Dragmaster has the largest watering system available on any arena drag in the world. The variable-output PTO-driven pump allows precision control from the tractor seat, making a perfect water application easy! 300 or 500 gallon size. For facilities with another arena moisture solution (water trailer, sprinklers, etc.), the Dragmaster can now be fitted without a water system from the factory!
