Default Locking Adapter In Place

Has anyone ever came up with a way to lock your Brinly adapter in place? I notice when I pull my lawn sweeper, the adapter wants to move up. I was wanting to see, if there was a way to keep the adapter from being able to move. Looking forward to any suggestions, guys!

Isn't your adapter raised and lowered with a winch? That's not really an issue with the proper setup.

It sure is, Tim. I wish there was a way to lock it with the winch.

Can't you just take the adapter off and use the regular hitch?

You could make a bar that would wedge between the adapter and winch mount, then you could raise the winch to secure it in place.

Jonathan, it doesn't have the regular hitch. I would have already done that, if it did.

Sounds like a good idea, Tim.

Allen, you probably need another tractor just for lawn sweeper duty!

I'm sure there are a thousand pictures of the back of your tractor floating around but I can't find them...

Every time I "search" for "Allens rear end", something less than desireable comes up.

Post up a picture, maybe you can make up some kind of stiff arm for it.

Allen this is an easy one. Just cut a piece of wood that will fit between the frame and the hitch. See yellow box, put it in place and then just put enough pressure on the lift to hold it in place.

Or hang some weight on the tongue of the sweeper.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
