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!

Is the one behind the brinly some other manufacture?
Looks like an Ohio steel one.

Todd, Mike, and Nick, THANKS!

Lew, I do not know. I have found pics of the early Brinly disks that look just like that. But, the Ohio Steel ones did too. To me, it looks heavier than the Ohio Steel ones. There are no tags on it. The front one is definitely a Brinly.

Randy, YES! That's what I want. Just can't find one. Maybe someday!!

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.
