Default 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!!

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.

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! 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!

edit (can't get picture to quote)I thought you had them facing opposite than they are. you can still get them much closer together, and to tractor which should reduce overall lifting weight. Yes I know how they work in tandem like your trying to setup the set behind tractor cuts the set away from tractor smooths/bust up clods is the way they are supposed to work.

If I ever use a double ganger it will be on a hydro tractor. As for the two different discs it would apperar that the rear disc is a newer Brinly.

I have mine set up as a tandem on a sleeve hitch. It is HEAVY and I put weight on it too, but that is why I added hydraulic lift to the tractor. One tip for you though, where the connection is for the front and rear, you should have a section of square tubing with a hole through the middle for the bolt. That will keep the rear more rigid and not flex so much.
I have a dream of one day converting mine to a wheel carry style, then I can really weight it down and do some damage.

Oh, I'm not done with it. I just bolted it together to see if I would even be able to pick it up. Plan is, to make a new frame. If all works out, I have a Cat 0 spoken for, so I'll just make it look like the one Oak posted. It won't be used to break ground, I have a plow (and other tools) for that. Just want to use it for after the plow, and before the tiller.

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.
