Brinly planter vs earthway planter
Hi all,
Looking into buying a new brinly planter. I've tried the earthway planter with growing corn an a few other vegetables. I can only say the results where satisfactory. It did better with the corn, spacing wasn't too bad but could be better. I tried growing rutabaga, broccoli, and brussel sprouts and yea it didn't do very good at all with the spacing and also it ground the seeds up and yes I modified it with the pvc pipe end cap so it wouldn't grind it up but it still managed to get behind the seed plate. I'll be honest I was a bit of a klutz and the other day accidentally drove over it with our big tractor to an unrepairable shape. I'd like to plant with npk next year and the earthway planter with a fertilizer attachment is close to $300. I do have a small cub cadet I do little odd jobs with and was wondering if a brinly planter could compare to an earthway. I am only planning on planting corn, beets or radishes, sunflowers, and maybe pumpkins in row crops. Since a used brinly planter with seeder and fertilizer attachment goes for around the same price around me as a new earthway planter with the same attachments, would it be worth buying a brinly to replace my earthway with planting corn? Does it do a close if not better job to the earthway? The cool factor of having a brinly is driving me to buy it but if it really is bad at planting I don't think I'll buy one

Have you considered a Cole/Planet Jr? I'll send you a PM. It is available.

Does Brinly still make Planters?
I don't have one of these but I found them years ago. Does anyone know anything about them? Cole/Planet Jr. copy http://www.tewmfg.com/PDF_Files/TEW_JR_2015_Flyer.pdf Cole 12MX copy http://www.tewmfg.com/PDF_Files/TEW_MX_Flyer_2015.pdf

The Cole/Planet Jr. is a small set up, usually set up bolted to a tool bar to be used in a 2 row or even 4 row arrangement. It's design is nearly or over 100 years old and honestly the best push planter to ever be manufactered on top of the earthway. Brinly actually did remarket a planet jr. planter with a sleeve hitch as their vegetable planter. But like I said, they don't plant corn unless you have a special attachment that I don't think is manufactured anymore by Cole but was by Planet Jr when it first came out. They are really really good for small vegetables like carrots, beets, radishes, and other things like that. You'd have best luck finding a used Planet Jr online and making your own sleeve hitch. It was marketed back then as a 300 or 300a, they are pretty readily available. Cole actually does make the 300a fully as its original design as a push planer like how planet Jr did back then but for $1000. Id rather buy an original for like $300. I'll include a pic of the brinly sleeve hitch, and the planet jr and cole in their push variants. They all use the same parts. As for the 12mx, I don't know much about it but you can find tons of videos for them on youtube. They seem to be just a much bigger version of brinly's old planters and are usually only pulled in a 1 or 2 row arrangement. I've kicked around the idea of using one on my cub, which is a 62 original, and found it may be too heavy for it because these are really only popular with compact or utility 3 point tractors. It weighs a couple hundred pounds and loaded down with maybe 50 lbs of seed and fertilizer may be enough to get the front wheels off the ground.

I don't think Brinly makes much of anything anymore.
They used to show up at the huge Portage, WI show every year with a bunch of returned stuff that they auctioned off but I have not seen them there for the last few years. I was able to buy a few new 10" and 12" plowshares a few years ago and their parts then were very limited. I was told at that time they would soon be no longer to get the shares.

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.
