Default Sleeve hitch question
I have purchased a sleeve hitch with floating arms. While looking at different sleeve hitches, I see some have a bent disc with a hole in the center. What is this disc for? Mine doesn't have this disc, is it needed?
Thanks

I have done a lot of plowing and never used one of those. I don't think it's the end of the world if you don't have one.

Admittedly I have never plowed, however I do use a box blade, cultivators and a disk. I have several sleeve hitch adapters but no draft plates, never had any problems without one.

I'll have to plow without it next time, to see if there is any difference.

The stablizer plate is needed if your attachment has a single hole hitch.

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.
