My neighbor is trying to sell his Krause 2509 8 shank chisel plow. He does not have the rims and tires for it (used on 3 pt). It seems like a good solid piece, good points, no welds or breaks. He pulled it with IH 1086. We do not know what it is worth or if there is any demand for them anymore. Your help would be appreciated.

Is this Ken Sweet? Of Kentucky way? If not, the similarities are eerie.

Well, Krause is among the best known American implement makers and they don't make bad stuff regardless of what it is. The standard, and mine, rule for a chisel is 10hp per shank so dragging that thing around with a 1086 must have seemed like a stroll in the park. It could reasonably be pulled, depending upon depth and soil, with an 80hp tractor so I'd say there is a market for it.

As is for personal use, I'd be fine giving $1500 and finding some old rims and tires for it but they aren't completely necessary. It'll last a lifetime with utmost minimal attention.

If you're looking to buy and re-sell, then offer $1k and see what you can get for it.

It's not a high dollar item and don't look for that but there are buyers for them somewhere around the $$$ above.

JoeinTX,
Thanks for your reply. Ken is my dad.We are about 80 miles apart. I spoke with him yesterday about the value of the chisel plow. With limited market in Ky.,we were not sure of it's value. My neighbor is 72 and I was going to put it on Craig's list for him (he does not have a computer). He has not used the plow in many years. I am not looking to purchase, just trying to help my neighbor.-Kevin

I put the chisel plow on Lexinton Ky. Caig's List for $750. I guess we will see what happens. It may end up in the scrap yard if there is no interest around here. Thanks for the input, you guys were very helpful. Kevin
