It with the dent in the hopper would still be usuable on that part. It has 8" rubber tires and I know it is avaible, and I don't thing it is that much overpriced, located in western Ohio. If it would have been a 10 or 12' model I would have had it for resale but 10' is what they prefer for use in the vegetable farm hoop houses. Don't know of any company that made a 6' and think Dearborn was only company with an 8' model. [Reply]  [No Email]

Nobody wanted to cover only 8 feet at a pass, and they were mostly abandoned fifty years ago. I know where there has been one sitting three hundred yards from my house for forty some years but I don't expect there is much left of it. [Reply]  [No Email]
