Default Plowing with hydros

Im curious. Does anyone pull brinly plows with their hyrdros? I have a 123 and a 105 that i was thinking about putting a brinly plow on one of them. I usually plow with my 128 which is nice since its gear drive but ive heard that hydros can get hot and can burn up from heavy plowing.

I plowed all year this year with a 125. It sucked, but it worked. I wouldn't recommend it.

I've plowed with many hydros, 123, 147,1811,1782. I thought the 123 did as well as my 12 hp 106, and I never had any overheating issues.

I mean ive seen guys plow with 1450s,1650s, and the 82 series but none with the older ones. Ive seen guys pull with them and those pumps were given about all they had. Im not into burning pumps up pulling but ive never plowed with a hydro so i dont know what theyre like.

I plow with my 149. The oil in the trans will get warm enough so the hydraulic lift (if your tractor has hydraulic lift) will react slower as the oil gets warmer. You will be moving the directional lever plenty to keep wheel speed the same.

Your 123 won't have the same power as your 128 does.

Along with my 149 I have a 100 set up to pull a brinly plow. The 100 does a much better job of plowing than the 149 does.

I plowed with a 169 this fall and it worked alright. Hydro lift was nice, never had that before, but it worked the tractor plenty. I personally like gear drives better.

I plowed this fall with a 100, 1450, and 1650. I would take the gear drive everytime over a hydro. I have both spring assists so lifting the plow wasn't an issue either. Its a stock 10hp engine, mwsc clutch, power trac ags loaded with rim gaurd and wheel weights, and 65lb front weight. I still ran out of traction before power, at times I was plowing 8+ inches down with a 10" plow. The hydros required alot of speed adjustment, while the gear drive would only require throttle adjustment through the tougher ground. I would stick with the 128, and whatever you would have spent on setting up one of your hydros, put into the 128. Good ags, wheel weights, loaded tires, strong clutch, front weights and a spring assist. As long as it doesn't have a creeper gear.

What's that one for? Afraid the front end is going to come off the ground?

Yeah thats exactly what its for. Without it I would hit a hard spot and the front would come up enough where the tri-ribs wouldnt keep me going straight down the furrow, then I would have to back up and straighten it out. It helped alot actually.

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.
