Default Brinly y adapter

I'm itching for spring and hoping to attend PA plow days this year this year. I have 3 Brinly plows and sleeve hitch set ups on 2 - 122's, a 124, and a 128. I am familiar with the Brinly "U" adapter but not the "Y" adapter. One of my 122's came with the Y adapter and I have never used it. My question is will the Y adapter work with the single bottom plows? I see it does not have the stabilizer plate like the U adapter so I don't know if it will work? I would really appreciate any knowledge anyone could share with me about the Y adapter and it's use

The Y adapper was an early version. Brinly later changed it to a U adapter. It will work fine, but not as robust as the U. When you plow, you don't use the draft plate. Plow needs to be able to swing in order to properly follow the tractor. It can be used when using other implements like a cultivator, that needs to stay straight on the row. However, it still needs some sway, as not to bind the hitch while steering. Don't ever set a draft plate tight.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't realize that the draft plate wasn't supposed to be used with the plows.

A lot of people don't know much about plowing anymore. Only a few remain.

It's interesting how plowing swings.
For a while plowing was going the way of steel wheel tractors.
Then we started seeing yield benefits of rotational plowing every few years.
Also some soils benefit from plowing, others don't.
I think there will always be some plowing, but for sure not like in the haydays of 2 cyl Deers and Farmalls.
As the size of farms grow, plowing takes up too much time compared to other forms of tillage.
Ain't many farms under 1000 acres in my area, much less us old hobby farmers.
As we retire/die the acreage is added to the big farms.

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.
