I like the original planet jrs.  I buy them whenever I find them at flea markets and antique stores.  They run between $20 to $75.  I particularly like the two wheel models that straddle the row with a beet knife on each side.  New handles can be fabricated from EMT electrical conduit,  I use the high wheel type for making furrows for low raised beds.  The high wheel type pushes easier under heavy load, even if it is a bit more clumsy to handle.
I greatly enjoy the list.
Best regards,
Mark
