Other than the fact they are 350 miles away, here are two, that if looking to do some commercial work to pay for it, not too bad of a price. Not quite the deal I got, but... The Jacobsen looks like you could hook & go, after lubing things up. The Befco looks like it's had a bit more use.

As for mine, a blind hog finds an acorn, every now and then. Great thing about it, it can be used in the Spring on those windy days. Not like a broadcast spreader, where you have to wait until the wind lays. Back in late Sept. I did reseed my hayfield with Timothy. This time, I wanted to try scuffing it up with the disc, then try broadcasting the seed. Dirt was perfect, got it seeded, and ran back over with the old pull type disk, to set the seed. It started raining before I finished, and we got a good 1/2" rain to set it on in. Checked it about 10 days later, after some amazing late Fall warm days, and countless 1" sprouts coming up everywhere. Really excited to see the results next May.
