Question Is a 12" Brinly plow too much for my 126?

I bought a plow off an ole boy a year or so ago and I "thought" I knew how to measure it and I thought it was a 10" plow. But after goofing off online tonight I realize it is 12". Is that gonna be to much for my 126?

There are a lot of variables, to include how deep the plow goes and type of soil.

I cannot imagine the 12 inch plow being to much for your 126. From what I've seen, typically the 12 inch plows were offered for 3 point hitch tractors vs sleeve hitch type - but the tranny in your 126 is no less in strength than those used with a 3 point hitch. BTW, when I say three point hitch, I'm talking about tractor cat 0 or similar vs sleeve hitch.

I'd say the two things you will need to watch out for are enough weight to keep the wheels from spinning and not stalling your engine during a hard pull, which might mean 1st gear plowing vs 2nd gear.

I've got a 126 that I'm putting back in working order and will moldboard plow with it to - at some point.

Good luck,
Bill

I pull a 10 inch behind my 70 with no problems. Again what everyone said above are the factors. Traction and weight are key. Engine is more then enough.

Default Running Your Plow

Starting is most important. When I'm going to plow, I'll run 2 or 3 cuts at the ends. This way when you go to start your rows, you'll have loose soil to start in and your ends will be neat. I think it helps.

The part of Virginia where you live has as much to do with it as anything.

Rocky Mount VA and south has such heavy clay, many "garden spots" could stop a Super pulling a 12" plow.

I have so much organic matter in my garden, your 126 could pull two 12" bottoms eight inches deep.

Probably the only way to find out is to try it!!

yup just give her a go.
i have a ten inch plow on my 12hp 123 and the ground here is such heavy clay that the first plowing was horrible. with ags and weight too. just had to keep hammering away at it. add lots of composte through the year and cultivate often. next year wont be bad at all. i made my rows wide enough for the tractor to go thru with full grown plants. good luck

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.
