Greentored 3,195 #1 Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Far from a seasoned GT veteran at the 10 month mark, but one Horse has turned into a stable full, a 10" Brinly plow, rear scrape blade, disc, spike drag, front mount plow, home built brush rake, and of course a wagon. One thing that seems to hold true across the board (especially the disc and scrape blade) is they just dont 'do' that great without some added weight, especially on hard ground. Adding weight is easy, transporting around the property with that extra weight is not, let alone trying to yank up on the lift handle with 5 or 6 concrete block strapped to a disc, building an arm like Popeye, and wondering when that cable is going to call it quits ha. Just wondering what you folks have done to remedy this situation. Right now considering trying to fab up a wheel of sorts to lift attachments from the back, a direct link instead of a cable, and converting the rear mount scraper blade to a mid mount with down pressure. Lets see some ideas! Edited October 9, 2020 by Greentored 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bottjernat1 2,189 #3 Posted October 9, 2020 Well this isn't osha approved but when we were kids and my late dad did this with my daughters to. We use to ride on the disc that dad pulled behind on the 8n ford. LOL It was super fun and bumpy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
