Floating straps or rigid, and why? I know I can set the lift handle to float if need be, and adjust depth stop using the slider depth stop on the top of the frame next to the lift lever. Nearly everything implement driven is 'float'; what about plowing?
I use floating straps. You need some float in case you hit a hard object (big rock). You will need a helper spring if you have manual or electric lift.
One wheel weight on each side, or is better to double up on the land side? (I only have two)
I use one on each side. I would consider adding more weight-fluid to the rear tires.
-How do I determine buying a brinly plow if it's worn out, specifically the point area?
There should be a gap behind the point.
Which size would be best? 8, 10 inch etc?
10 inch plow is what I use.
Another thing to consider is your rear tires. A good rule is this:
8 inch plow-6 inch wide tires
10 inch plow-use up to 8.50 wide tires
12 inch plow-use up to 12.00 wide tires
The right rear tire needs to fit in the furrow. Too wide will compact the previous plowed soil. It can cause drive line issues depending on how aggressive you drive(been there-done that. You never know when you get behind someone plowing with an 8 inch plow at a plowday
Does the plow mount rigid with the pin and the bolts to the rear of the adapter, or does it just attach via a pin and allow to trail the tractor?
I have some play in the plow-plow hitch.
I know someone who has 2 ten inch brinly sleeve hitch plows for sale. PM me if anyone interested.
