Default tandem disc harrow project

so i've been wanting to build some thing like this for a while, so I sat down tonight and made up some very crude plans.... dont laugh at my art skills... lol

the plan is to use the two brinley harrows I already have, and build a welded frame using angle iron, or possibly square tube to attach the gangs to... then build the lift mechanism, and using a pulley and cable system to be able to lift the assembly off the ground indirectly using the hydraulic power of the tractor ...

it will be after Christmas im sure before im able to get started, but im itching to get it ready for the garden next year!

let me know your ideas on this design...

I like your drawing/plans. One thing I would change is have a seperate lift system for the disk. The disk will raise or lower when you go over hills or valleys. You could put a T in your Cub hudraulic system or use an electric lift or hydraulic cylinder on the disk.

Let me know if you need someone to bounce suggestions off....be glad to help.

Keep us posted.

i thought about that... ive got some ideas in my head to use some springs to hold the wheels in the up position and to allow some slack to give the tractor some room to pivot with the lay of the land...

id love to do a second hydraulic setup but i was looking at the most time and cost efficient way to get the lift I was after... we will see how it goes. that setup might not even be plausible, but there does need to be some sort of way to lift it off the ground.

Instead of hydraulics you could maybe use a linear actuator? Northerntool has them fairly cheap i know, compared to some.

Are these going to be so heavy that you could not just make them a mounted set and lift the whole unit, instead of tires, or are you after a "look"?

Chris

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.
