anyone of you MD folk that live more in the country regions know of a farm auction or place where i can get some suitcase/hang on weights.

i've looked and cant find anywhere to go get them within a reasonable drive.

 

how many do you want?

 

1,000lbs would be best but ill take what i can get

 

Have you checked the Lancaster Farming paper for up coming auctions? What are you looking to spend?

my hopes are to find them for maybe $.50 /lbs so $500 if possible, but my hopes may be too high

 

TO bad you arent close to NC I know where there is several that could be bought reasonable.

 

You are looking for 1000#, you want 100# or 75# or 50# or 25#? I will make a few calls and see what I can come up with, I have family that goes to auctions every week it seems like and if I know for sure what your price is, what brand you want (IH are the easiest to handle), and what size I bet by the first pull I will have what you are looking for, if not before I go home in January.

 

50-75-100 doesnt matter, brand doesnt really matter as long as they are all the same and mount the same way.

i know for a fact i cant spend over $500 on them right now, so that is my limit at this point.

 

IH seems to be the most popular and the 95lb weights typically go for at most $50 or $55 depending on where the bid started.

 

i guess i just gotta find an auction now

 

Different brands do mount differently, IH are the easiest to fab up a bracket for them also. JD need a round bar over the top of the steel to seat properly, IH just needs the steel and if it still has ***** on it a hole cut. I will see what I can come up with, we might have a few laying around that could be sold also.

 

Too bad you live so far away...I got tons (literally) of them

I have to go through Ohio when I go home for Gordyville for the Winter Nationals, If you and TJ work something out we could meet and I could pick them up for him, of course if that is ok with you and him. It would only add about 20 miles to my trip, nothing I can't handle.

 

let me know what you have and what kind of price you can give me and we will see about getting them picked up somehow!
