Default Brinly Disk

Hey I have a chance to pick up a 3 point tandem Brinly disk... actually choice of two, one older than the other. Question, any differences between a newer disk vs. an older disk? I.E. quality? Are they useful? Is it a worthwhile purchase? I've been wanting either a disk or a plow... thoughts??? Thanks!!

Plows and disks are two totally different pieces of equipment. They are both useful in their own right. Question is, what are you going to do with it? You really can't go wrong with brinly implements, old or new, they are very well built.

A plow, is..... well its a plow. It is a ground breaking tool that requires another tool to finish the ground after using it. A disk, can be used for either ground breaking or finishing.

This is my opinion on disks for GT's , the sleeve hitch disc are to light to do anything to plowed up ground. I guess you could throw enough weight on it to do some good , but i do not think it would break up the dirt around here.

A Cat 0 plow isn't much better , but they are heavier than a sleeve hitch disc.

I have had both , but i didn't keep them long.

If you are looking to get one to work , i would pass on it. But they really do look cool restored and behind a nice looking tractor !!

Just my .02.

Where I was going with this idea was if I had just enough cash to buy one or the other (category 0 disk or category 0 plow) which of the two should a person go with first? (Thinking disk at this time, more versatile). Also, of the two disks I've found, according to the owners, one is a D-100 and the other is a D-1000... I'm not familiar with the disks and didn't know if there was a difference or if one of the owners read the serial tag wrong...

My ground is pretty sandy so I'm thinking the disk and plow should work ok?? Thanks!!

You can't go wrong with the Cat 0 plow , they work great !! You can fine tune them to work in the dirt.

If you only have enough money for one , i would get the plow. Buy both if possible , keep the one that works best for you and sell the other if you feel the need to do so. Cat 0 attachments are HTF and sell really well.

If you have softer soil than what i have here where i live , the disc may work , and you can add weight to it if needed.

Hope that helps !!!

What I do is run my disc over the weeds first, plow, disc again and till it. Really the two are best to have, but I would go with a plow first IMHO.

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.
