That"s likely what I"ll do. I spoke to the previous owner on the phone just now and that"s basically how he used/transported it. Last week he simply told me to go get it, use it, then return it, and if it was in pieces, so be it, no big loss. I don"t like to do that, I"d rather just buy it and be done. He had built a new home a few years back and needed a harrow to landscape (like me!) and just used it for that one job. It was sitting atop an old disc harrow. He said he has more junk in the bushes. I live in Caribou, ME so historically there has been tons and tons of old obsolete implements on rockpiles throughout the county, but #1 - people now want old plows on their front lawn as ornaments, #2 - More Amish are moving up here and want old steel wheeled stuff, #3 - scrap steel is $60 a ton so the rockpiles are getting cleaned with a vengeance. I was offered a 10" wide spring toothed harrow this weekend, no idea who made it or when, but it has a regular drawbar with a trip lever. I don"t know how these typically work but when you back up, it raises the tines up, so you can then move from A to B... then when ready, you just trip the lever and you"re good to go. It has been sitting for many years but it still looks fine. I could get it for $100 I think. I don"t NEED it now that I have the little fella up and running, but it"s a shame this may get crushed before winter. Better to put that money towards a roller or a homemade rock rake.
