Rough estimate 30k inc/plus VAT, depending on spec and with/without apron and height to eaves. And depending on site preparation.

No sign of steel or concrete dropping anyway.

Frightening, isn't it ?

And , if costs did fall tomorrow , little if any of the savings will find their way back to the purchaser


Now , think of the value of the say 2m x 1 m space freed up by said drill plough ...

It’s quite a heavy spring from memory, around 60mm in diameter.

McCarthy's in carrigtwohill were a Fraser dealer, may have one in stock. Failing that shannoncoilsprings in limerick may have one off the shelf.
 
Yeah how critical is its length?

Could you just grind it off straight and put a stack of washers in with it?

Don't know the machine in question but it would work for a lot of situations
 
Would the likes oh Hi-Spec be using something like that there drawbar for smaller slurry tankers or would Cross engineering have them on some foldup presses. Both would have to be worth a call even if it means buying two so they will be balanced right.

Also springs from a combine breaker cut to length might suits. They are used under the mouth of a combine to help it float.
