NH Rake Hitch

I have two NH 56 rakes that I run in a double rake bridge. Problem is the old style hitch with the old spring loaded drop jack is shot and I am going to need to replace it. I did this a few years ago on the other one and put on a new hitch with the sliding jack, real nice. But the NH dealer wants over $200 for that hitch now and the dolly wheel kit is almost $400. Is it worth it to try to switch to dolly wheels on this rake??? Is there any bone yards around that might have used rake hitches or dolly wheels to fit NH rakes??? I hate to pay that much for a hitch on the rake but my jack is broken and the hitch is almost broken so I need to do something before spring.

Thanks

Shep,
A dolly wheel will improve your ground-gauging significantly. Up here in New Jersey, a 56 with dolly will still go for $1200-1400 at auction, without it will bring $700-$1000. So I think it's worth it to put one on. There was somebody on e-bay a while back, and I think maybe in the classifieds here, too, who was selling shop-made dollies.

Hey thanks for the information, I would really like to have dolly wheels on both rakes I think, for several reasons, and I have room in my rake bridge to make it happen, I just need to find a dolly kit or two without paying quite so much.

If you can find the name or number on that guy that was making dolly wheels I would be interested, I havent seen him. What was he selling them as on ebay so I can find them???
