Hello,I've recently ran into an 8N with a few implements for sale and the seller is willing to part. I've been on the lookout for some period implements that I can use with my 8N and thought I'd get your opinions. The first is a fairly new bushog. It's a 4-footer and probably a New Holland. The owner said they've had it probably less than 10 years without much use. It's been stored in a shed until recently (moved outdoors last fall). Looks to be in good shape. Second was a very nice 5'-6' blade (can't remember how big). It's got a Ford tag on the tubular frame and is in very nice shape other than minor surface rust. Has the usual blade angle adjustments but also came with an unusual tilting adjustment. I'd never seen one like this before and thought it would be a nice/useful addition to my 8N. The last implement was an older pond scoop. It was also in good condition w/ minor surface rust. It has the capability of mounting to the 3-pt hitch either forwards (for pulling) or backwards (for pushing) the bucket. Has the lever dump and the bucket is good and solid. They will seperate the implements from the tractor but won't seperate the implements from each other. The asking price for all 3 items is $600. Does this sound reasonable for what they are? Thanks for any comments/advice. My old bushog is about shot and the home-made blade that I snagged w/ my tractor is about too heavy to do much with. I just haven't been on the market for implements long enough to know the value of this stuff. Thanks again! Justin in Indiana
