TR3 “E” Trevor Brazile Edition

Stabilizing Wheels

Easily Create Consistent Footing Throughout The Arena

The patented center mounted wheels stabilize the frame of the TR3 E-Series and provide positive depth control to all ground engaging components. With three height adjustments, it’s easy to find the perfect position for general grooming or renovating.

All 3-point tractor implements move in the opposite direction of the tractor’s front tires. If the tractor’s front tires go up, the 3-point goes down, causing most 3-point implements to dig holes and create waves in horse arenas. However, the TR3 E-Series offers stabilizing wheels to solve this problem, preventing it from undulating with the tractor’s front tires.

The TR3 E-Series tires suspend the ground-engaging components in relation to each other, ensuring precise and accurate grooming, enabling anyone to achieve precise and consistent footing depth each time the arena is worked.

Profile Blades (Patented)

Remove Subsurface Compaction You Can’t See

ABI’s patented Profile Blade attachment is an innovative subsurface cutting blade that works similarly in concept to a sod-cutting knife to eliminate hidden dangers under an otherwise smooth-looking top riding surface. This attachment cuts parallel to the arena grade while riding above the base to remove dangerous compaction layers and aerify the footing. Unlike competitors, the Profile Blade attachment ensures that what the horse and rider see on the top surface is what the horse feels when his hooves penetrate the footing material! This new level of safety helps reduce vet bills and ensures productive time in the ring, as the horse will be more attune to riders’ cues instead of unseen dangers below the surface. This technology works well in both arenas with and without a professionally installed base. If the arena does not have a base, the Profile Blades will pack the material below it to create a quasi base.

Leveling Blade (Patented)

Level The Arena, Don’t Just Smooth It Out

Many competitors claim their drag has a leveling or grading blade; the reality is that they don’t. Many drags can smooth, few can level. Simply smoothing out hoof prints will never bring an arena back to grade. A drag must move footing from one part of the arena to another to claim it can level a horse arena. The TR3 E-Series has an industry-exclusive patented leveling blade that can operate in either a floating or fixed position.

• Floating Position: In the floating position, this blade will automatically catch high areas and drop that material into lower areas. If the arena is already level, it will not dig holes or create high spots. No skill is required to achieve or maintain a level grade in an arena that does not require renovation.
• Fixed Position: The leveling blade may also be locked into a fixed position to act as a box blade for rough grading and material spreading. This fixed position enables cut-and-fill style grading used when renovating an arena. When locked, the leveling blade moves material from high areas to low areas at the direction of the tractor operator. A bit more skill is required, but the TR3 E-Series is equipped to get the job done.

Ripping Teeth

The Teeth For Tough Work

The included adjustable rippers give the TR3 E-Series the teeth for tough dirt and gravel work. They are adjustable from 0 – 7″ to get to the bottom of the most compacted arena footing or gravel driveway potholes. Fortunately, the stabilizing wheels gauge the depth of these teeth to protect the arena’s base, and the tips are easily replaced to restore peak performance once worn.

These forward-facing scarifiers should also be occasionally run in arena footing to help remix sand particles sizes, ensuring the footing is well graded for best stability. Over time large footing particles will rise to the top of the footing profile, and the small particles will settle to the bottom. Keeping these particles mixed is crucial to a high-performance footing. This soil grading principle also applies to gravel driveways.

Grooming Rods

Add Cushion & Grip To The Footing 

The TR3 E-Series Trevor Brazile Edition grooming rods add air to the footing for added cushion, helping to manage the perfect riding surface. While the Profile Blades loosen the footing horizontally, the Grooming Rods agitate the footing vertically, incorporating air and ensuring all compaction is loosened throughout the footing profile. The grooming rods follow the leveling blade and continue to level the footing for consistent feeding into the finish rake.

Additionally, Grooming Rods may be run either above or below the Profile Blade depth to add “texture” and “grip” to the footing, depending on the equine discipline and arena footing material. Ropers and Barrel Racers will run the Grooming Rods slightly below the Profile Blades to dial in the perfect footing. While Reiners may choose to run the Grooming Rods and Profile Blades at the same depth.

Hydraulic Finish Rake

Hydraulically Control The Rear Rake

The hydraulic finish rake is a game-changer for ropers. The roping box is critical for getting the best times in competition. The TR3e Trevor Brazile Editon is the first arena drag engineered to work inside the box with ease! The rake rotates 120° to get the ground-engaging components into the back of the box to loosen compaction. With precision control, the rake lowers to create a consistent finish between the box and the arena. If the box needs filled, the hydraulic finish rake can also push material back or collect displaced material and pull it into the box. Outside of the box, the hydraulic finish rake can pivot into various finishing and grading positions to optimize material flow, pulverize clumps, and expertly create ABI’s famous signature finish! Use caution when pushing backwards. Only push backwards on loose soil and at slow speed or damage could occur.
