Yea, we'll get you over to the eye doc one of these days! :laughing:
Leinbach made good harrows. As previously noted, most of the parts shouldn't be a problem, but Leinbach did use some odd bearings that will be hard to find.
Really, the only thing that Ted borrowed from Leinbach's design is the screw gang adjustment.
Seriously, there's a TON of difference, so I won't even compare ours to the Leinbach.
EverythingAttachments harrows have more in common with the Woods brand than any other harrow on the market.
The main thing that we borrowed from the Woods harrow is the un-pierced main frame, which greatly adds durability. After looking at them all, the Woods frame was Ted's favorite.
If you look closely, you'll see several improvements that we made to improve the Woods.
- The tubes that the gang hangers are attached to are capped with solid plastic on the Woods. Ours are capped...well, not really capped, but closed with solid steel for extra rigidity.
- The Woods has a bolted up 3pt hitch, which saves money and is cheaper to ship. The ETA hitch is solid welded.
- The upright gang hangers(that the bearings are bolted to) are flat on the Woods. Ours are formed for extra durability.
- To adjust the angle of the Woods, you have to remove a bolt/pin and wrestle it back and forth to choose one of the 4 adjustment points.. Easy, infinite adjustment via the cranks on the front and rear of the ETA.
- Compare the price of ours to a Woods....you'll see a big difference there as well.
Yes, a disc harrow is a disc harrow. They're made to tear up dirt, but hopefully this lets you know why the ETA is several hundred dollars more than a brand new(or slightly used) Leinbach harrow.
