I am, at times, a patient person. Now I have been to equipment auctions, farm auctions, looking on craigslist, ebay, bargain papers, and I have not been able to buy an old 2 bottom plow at a reasonable price. Yes, the key here is a reasonable price. I can't bring myself to buy a 30 year old plow for twice the money it was new. Now I have seen a bargain or two go by at around $225, but normally it has one or more issues.
My question, is anyone finding 2 bottom plows, with decent coulters, mouldboards, etc for $275 or less? When I say decent, I expect some issues, but not major problems. Is my price range unrealistic? I have seen some without parts on it go for a little as 200. I also know that as soon as spring comes in I will not get my hands on one.
Any feedback would be helpful, maybe I need to drive south of the mason dixon line to get one. It may just be a central PA thing.
