Went past a dealer's lot today and stopped to see what they might have some deals on and think I lucked out. He said he had an unused, old/starting to rust 20x18 disk harrow on a HD box type frame. Basically the same type of structure made by KingKutter and sold for $1700 on NorthernTool except it has an easier means of adjusting the angle of the disks.
He told me it was 5 years old, but got put on the back of the lot and had grass grow up through it a few (probably 3) years back and ended up forgot about... It has a bit of surface rust here and there, as well as on the disks. The paint is faded. All the welds look good and none of the rust is what I'd consider severe. Anyone have any qualms about paying $700 for a new unit left in the weather in tall grass for a few years?
