Coulter wheel for Brinly plow.
 

Anybody know where I can get a coulter wheel for a brinly 12" 3pnt plow.

Try contacting our sponsors listed at the top of the page. You might also place an ad in the wanted section. Someone here may have one for sale.

I think you can still get them from Brinly I ordered one for my 12" plow last summer from them.

Have you tried the plow yet? Many users find the coulter causes the plow to "ride up" out of the ground, so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

the coulter often ends up on the scrap metal pile!! :bigeyes:

I have to admit, the coulter does look good, but, I never needed it.

:bigthink:

That puzzles me. In theory the coulter should be in place, but I've always wondered why some work better without it. The coulter is made to slice the ground so the plow can turn it better.

:bigthink:

If you have enough plow weight to push the coulter in the ground, the theory works.

Take a big kitchen knife out to the yard and try to push it in the ground. :bigthink:

Now multiply that by the size of the coulter. :bigeyes:

At an auction one day, they loaded a four 16" bottom trailer John Deere plow on a 1/2 ton pickup. The plow was so heavy, it blew out both rear tires on the pickup.:angry:

The coulter's real function is to slice the existing roots, it should only go in about an inch or two. Yes it makes the remaining furrow look nice.

A nice furrow keeps the plow at an even depth.

Add the coulter, and expect to add a bunch of these weights to the plow,

unless the soil is loose, in which case, you probably didn't need the coulter in the first place!! :HeadScratch:

I think that is called "Catch 22" :biggrin2:

I had to have the coulter wheel on mine. The sod was so tough that without the coulter the plow would just get stuck because it could not roll it over.

my plows have them, but I take um off the plow.

I use it on my cat 0 plow and it goes in as deep as it can go. I've used it at the plow days and never had a problem using it. Looking at some PD pics I see that aboout 1/2 use them and 1/2 don't. We plow in pretty nice soil here in the south.:biggrin2:

Boys,
You set your plow the right way it works great with the coulter on. I won't plow without one. I don't need any extra weight. Number one problem is a poor point setting or point has too much wear on it. Try sharpening the edge of your coulter sometime.....makes a big difference on how it works.

Another big problem with sleeve hitch plows is the plow is not in line behind the tractor pulling it or parallel with the tractor . Most times the plow is way to the left. (sitting on seat).

The brinly plow was design to plow 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 mile per hour...not the warp speed like some try to plow at.

All brinly 8-10-12 inch plows take the same coulter and mounting bracket. The coulter help to have a straight up and down furrow wall and reduce the wear on the side of the moldboard.

Exactly. Plowing is not meant to be fast. It's meant to be a slow relaxing tedious job. :biggrin2:

I used to plow 90 acres a day (1975) using a JD 4630. (6-18" plows)

That would have never happened at 3 1/2 miles per hour.

I was easily going twice that.

I would burn 70 gallons of diesel fuel, before lunch!! :bigeyes:

Speed does throw the furrows "out" real nice, it would look like it was disced once!!

:biggrin2:

Big difference between a garden tractor-plow set up and a farm tractor plow set up.

This is worth repeating again.......

...speed is great for breaking things, and often exponentially.
