Just check shanks for side to side wear if they did a 1,000,000 acres otherwise good

I didn’t wiggle every shank on it, but the several that I grabbed were amazingly solid!

I have a 14' Vibrashank I have used over 25 years. Does a pretty nice job. You can hear the spring snap back when it hits a stone.

I like my 4800. Put new shanks and bushings in it when I got it. Hasn't done THAT many acres and there's some wiggle. Kind of poor design but hey! Could about go through a mowed hay field and not plug....maybe a slight exaggeration but it worked standing stalks and knee high weeds last spring ok.

Meaning that the bushing and shank both wear. Can replace bushings easily but you're putting it in a worn hole. I suppose the bushing wears more but still...

Thank you Steve.
Gotta count my pennies and see what the guy has to have for it. It's a 24 footer, asking $7000.
