neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 There was a time that nearly every farm had a buck rake dumped in a ditch and there'd always be a few bars cut of by the local ferreter's or terrier men. Nowadays all the old machinery is either gone as scrap or been cleaned and painted for display. Francie, most Farriers or Blacksmith's will whip you up a good bar for a few quid.

neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Just remember Francie, that the bar is the most over used piece of equipment and should only be used when stuck. (Here we go again.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stop.end 4,082 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 E&I engineering in pennyburn will weld you a 16 mil stainless steel bar , 16 mil stainless wont bend and its light enough to carry 4ft shaft so you know every time you sink the full bar your down 4 ft, put an 18 inch T for a handle and that way she will fit in the boot of most cars also....dont go with ould rebar francie she will bend like a cork screw if your in tight ground, 30 quid was the last one I bought... rip off I know but I was stuck and providing you don't leave her behind you should last a life time.
