3pt Plow information
 

Can anyone tell me anything about this plow? I have deal working on it and I would like to find out anything I can and what it might be worth. Only pictures I have and current owner doesnt know brand. He uses it behind a small Ford about the size of a Cub Super.

It orginally was a Brinly sleeve hitch plow.

Best thing you can do is remove the 3 point hitch and put correct hitch back on it.

Merk? Are you saying that based on the way it connects to the 3pt T? I wondered that myself. I have both a sleeve and 3pt plow already and I would only be interested using it as a three point. However since it unbolts there are options to make it into something else. Whats it worth?

That is a homemade jobby there. I wouldn't think it is worth more than $50.

Yepper.
The 3 point hitch part is homemade and the person who made it didn't know what they were doing. The lower connection hitch pin on the right (sitting on seat should be lower that the left pin. The rest of the plow is a Brinly sleeve hitch plow.

Oak I want to buy were you do. Any Cat 0 3pt plow that's not totally rusted or broken will bring at least a $100 around here unless I am bad wrong. Not to many of them around here in southern KY. I am glad to get info and value thoughts keep them coming!

Merk, I agree I noticed that also. Looks like an easy fix though. Oak says $50 what do you think?

Don, I agree with you. Cat 0 stuff in GA does not exist either. I paid $250 for each of my cat 0 plows and $100 for a sleeve hitch plow. Brinly no longer makes them and the green ones are over $700. That one may work for you until you find a cat 0 one. The box stores still sell the sleeve hitch ones and maybe you could get an A frame adapter for sleeve hitch equipment to put on the BRS.:beerchug:

I need to see the condiation of the point. I would buy it for $50 if the point is in decent shape.

Home Made
 

BBrinly plow that was sleeve hitch, but from looking at the cat 0 even if homemade it looks plenty strong and right. If you could get that for 50.00 you would be robbing him. Never hurts to ask.

If the seller was useing it with the tractor in the last photo, than haveing the pins level would make no difference and the 3-point arms are adjustable on the tractor to allow for proper angle depending on the size of the rear tires on the tractor.
If I remember right most early Ford tractors with 3-points where adjustable on both arms.

He was using it with the Ford in the picture. He says the Ford doesnt want to pull it. He gave me the measurements and its the same as the Brinly 3pt hitch if I remember right. Good or Bad I bought it going to pick it up Saturday. Ill have $100 in it including fuel and travel time. I wore him out on price and thats the best if gets.Im not neccesarily buying it to resell so ill use my money out of it if I have to.

You did good Don. I look at stuff like that and think you can always get your money back out if you need to sell it. Now go get that thing hooked up to the BRS and flip some sod.:beerchug: And we need pictures of it in action.

What Todd said! :ThumbsUp:

Don, you could keep your eyes open for a sleeve hitch plow nad convert it to cat 0 using Aaron's conversion. it will cost about $200. That's what I did.

I actually have the Brinly 3pt plow that goes with the BRS and a brinly sleeve hitch plow both. I just did some trading and this plow is part of the deal. Im picking it up tomorrow and I will post some good pictures then. My dad has a big Bolens with adjustable arms that he is wanting to try it with.

Awesome! Looking forward to your pics, Don!

Sweet! I'm also looking forward to your pics!

Am getting caught up on some posts. Can't wait to see this thing. :beerchug:

Me too! BRS and the Bolens pictures would be great. Thanks!:beerchug:

Well I set up everything to pickup the plow then had a communication issue on the sellers end so we didn't get to meet. Now he wants to meet Monday but I have to go pick it up at his house. That will add another $50 in fuel and time costs and I just don't know that I want $150 invested in the plow. I think that's just to much money for that set up. I told him I would let him know something tomorrow night but I'm really considering backing out. Any thoughts??

I would not sink $150 into a cobbled-together plow. $50 would be too much for me, but it's your time and money...

Yea Matt I think the same. I didn't care to go $100 total but any more than that is just way to much even for around here were implements are hard to find.
