Eberhardt Plough

[SuperTwo]

Anyone ever heard of them? Any good? Local chap has one for sale for cheap, needs a bit of metal do parts from anything else fit them?
Looks similar to the one in the photo except its a 4 furrow with what look like shock absorbers.

Thanks.

Parts are available from Kramp and Granit, but £70 for a share seems expensive ,but if it's cheap to buy then maybe worth a punt

Worth a punt at 500 quid?

Think you need to work out if the plough is suitable, are the boards of a shape that look like they will invert the soil, will they give you enough room in the furrow bottom for your tractor tyres? Have you seen that model working on say youtube? If its just going to plough 20 to 30 acres a year ,then the metal once replaced will last a while. The foundry company frank-original.com make plough metal for allmost obsolete ploughs, so I'd say no problem sourcing replacement metal.

That's interesting. I've scrapped 2 ploughs in the past, as I couldn't find parts.
