Tandem disk on a sleeve hitch

Just got me two disks, and I arranged and bolted them together to make a tandem. Just did it to see how heavy they would be. Plan to make the two frames into one, and put it on 3pt. (The cat 0 Brinly disks are too hard to find). Anyone running a tandem on a sleeve hitch? I wanted it have both a cat 0 hitch and the Brinly on it, but, man..... breaks my arm lifting the silly thing! Yes, I have spring assist, but I think it may just be too much. Flexing the adapter an awful lot. So.... anyone else have tandems on sleeve hitch?

I think I would rather pull a single gang, with extra weight in the weight box, for a garden.

The dual gang with weight in both boxes would be great for a field, where you do not need to lift the gangs, just keep on going!! :bigeyes:

Either way, the discs need weight to be effective, in most soils, single or dual gangs.

If I were going to gang them for a 3 point, I think I could consider wheels in between the gangs, 3 pt operated, of course.

Then the wheels would be your weight, and the lift would be located where it would do the most good.

:bigthink: JMHO

Nice find, Jonathan!

I think you are probably right. It is going to be a 3pt disk, but I know I've seen pics of tandems on sleeve hitch, but they may not have been these. They are both pretty heavy! :bigeyes: No biggie. I was planning on having depth wheels on it when its done. Like I said, this isn't the way I'm going to run it...... I just wanted to see if I could lift it!

Nice tandem by the way.

Nice tandem setup Jonathan!

Nice tandem Jonathan.

Is the one behind the brinly some other manufacture?
Looks like an Ohio steel one.

Like this??? :beerchug:

Todd, Mike, and Nick, THANKS! :beerchug:

Lew, I do not know. I have found pics of the early Brinly disks that look just like that. But, the Ohio Steel ones did too. To me, it looks heavier than the Ohio Steel ones. There are no tags on it. The front one is definitely a Brinly.

Randy, YES! That's what I want. Just can't find one. Maybe someday!!
