| 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. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

| 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.
