Angle iron for snowmobile trail drag?

[Dinglishna]

Am starting to build a snowmobile trail drag for use this winter. Looking for angle iron (like 1/8” x 2”). I know I can get it at AK Steel in Anchorage. But is there anywhere in Anchorage or the Valley that sells scraps? I don’t care if they have some rust or not or have been used. Any ideas? Thanks.

Greatland welding on the Palmer/Wasilla hwy.

Check out Grants recycling at PW hwy and 49th street, right by the dump.
They will sell scrap by the # as well as buy it.

Last time I dropped some stuff I also bought some al. pretty cheap, might have something you could use.

Weld air in wasilla sells new material. Not sure on where to get used stuff. If you need a good drag/groomer design let me know, I have quite a few running around on the Su/Yentna.

I bought a 4' piece of 2x2 angle at AIH when I built my drag. I think Home Dep and Lowes also sells small stuff in the 4' size....

Not knowing the design or size of the drag, 1/8 seam a little light. IMO

Would you elaborate? I'd like to pull one behind my firewood sled to help keep things smooth, have heard of a few different designs

2x2" angle 1/8" thick is perfect

Thanks for the replies! Lowe's & HD don't sell pieces over 4 to 6'. And I need side pieces that are 8'. I'm going to check out Grants and greatland. Akriver ... I know you make good ones. But I like to make my own stuff ... cuz making stuff keeps me out of trouble! ;-)

You can buy remnants at Alaska Steel. People buy a piece and have it cut top length. The remnant goes back on the shelf.

I'm not trying to sell them anymore, don't have the time. Just letting you know I can give you the design if you want it. The size I found that works best is 5'x10'. I normally bought 6-10' sticks of angle and one 10' stick of 4"x 3/16" thick flat bar for the cut and fill blades.

Me too Akriverrunner. If you have a pic of one of your drags ... that would be interesting to see. Thanks.

I don't have a pic of one right now but as soon as it snows I'm building a 7'x10' to pull behind my tracked SxS
