Tractor Horse Arena Drag for Sand Footing
The SportPro M5 – Premier Equestrian Edition was designed with facility owners, managers, trainers, and the horses they care for at the forefront. We have a configuration to get the results you require—no matter what kind of synthetic additives you’re working with. The M5 comes fitted with a patent pending swivel hitch that precisely follows the turns of the tractor around jumps and rails, but straightens itself before locking when lifted. This auto-locking swivel hitch also enhances safety and reduces hassle when pulling in and out of the arena.
Available in two configuration widths, the M5 is built with extended space between each component from front to back; this innovative setup maximizes the flow of footing material so you can be sure you’re getting the comprehensive blending needed for daily maintenance as well as periodic re-mixing.
67.5″ and 83.5″ Widths.

Impressions with Dan James
One of the things that impressed me most about the ABI SportPro was that when the drag went to the ground, that it went to moving and swiveling behind the tractor. Once it was lifted up, it then locked in position which made it easy to move in and out of arena gates and also through the barn.

What's so great about this tool is that each element is adjustable, so the groomer is set how I want it for best footing consistency for my horses and my discipline.

Features
Self-centering, Locking Swivel Hitch
Let the Groomer do the Work
The SportPro M5 comes fitted with a patent pending swivel hitch that precisely follows the turns of the tractor around jumps and rails, and straightens itself before locking when lifted. This self-locking swivel hitch enhances safety and reduces hassle when pulling in and out of the arenas, all without having to stop and get off the tractor.
S-Tines
A Safer Way to Go Deeper
If you have a limited amount of water in your arena or your additives require frequent mixing, the S-tines will provide holistic blending for your everyday grooming. The Sport Pro M5’s danish-styled S-tines act intuitively in synthetic footing; their springy give loosens and mixes material without causing damage to the base. S-Tines offer a safer way to go deeper, pulling up small fines and fibers that have settled to the bottom. S-tines are also suited for self-amending or self-installing additional materials, or fibers.
Coil Tines
More Contact Points for Better Blending
The SportPro M5 has two offset rows of coil tines, and each tine has two contact points instead of one. In their passive position, this setup maximizes the coil tines ability to fill in grooves and press down large fibers that have risen to the top. In the active position, the coil tines aerate, mix, and level the arena surface.
Smoothing Bar
Level Your Footing Without Plugging Up
The smoothing bar is adjustable in quarter inch increments for maximum precision adjustment. The smoothing bar allows for some build up to accumulate so it can level out any excess material while filling remaining lines or grooves. The cylinder shape of the smoothing bar allows material to flow under as well as over—creating a smoothing effect under the bar, and preventing excess material from plugging up.
Choose Between Single Roller or Dual Rollers
Twisted Rod Roller: A Signature Finish, Every Time
The twisted rod design of the SportPro roller maximizes packing and prevents trailing so you can count on an elegant finish over your arena surface. One of the key benefits of the twisted rods is constant contact with the surface, which minimizes bouncing while grooming.
Optional Front Roller: Additional Blending and Base Protection
If you’re looking for an additional level of gauge security and consistency, you can choose to add the optional front roller. With a second roller, you’ve established a ground plane between the front and rear rollers so you can drop and groom without worrying about catching on your base.
Fully Adjustable Components
Your Arena, Your Way
Each ground-engaging component on a SportPro M5 groomer is independently adjustable so you can configure your implement to perfectly groom your specific arena and achieve your footing performance expectations, this includes daily maintenance as well as periodic re-mixing. With its easy adjustment capabilities, you can change the surface tension in your arena for different disciplines and for conditioning. Once you have the groomer configured for everyday use for your arena, lock the tool in place, so you can count on consistent, repeatable results, no matter who's in the driver's seat. Then, adjust the components as needed into an active grooming position when you need to remix the additives in your footing or change the surface tension for conditioning.
Options
Rail Blade
For the Hard-to-Reach Spots
To get those tough-to-reach edges, add the optional rail blade. The rail blade lets you maneuver with ease around the trickiest spots in your arena.
Wall Wheel
No Kick Wall Scratches Here
For extra kick wall protection when leveling the edges of your arena, get the optional rail wheel add on.
Scarifiers
Eliminate Unwanted Compaction
Compacted arenas with high clay will benefit from the scarifiers as the primary component. In contrast to the S-tines, scarifiers are rigid by design, giving them an enhanced ability to loosen hard, compacted materials. For arenas that would benefit from the capabilities of both, the SportPro groomer allows the operator a toolless swap out of the S-tines and scarifiers.
