Brinly PP-510 Sleeve Hitch Tow Behind Moldboard Plow, 10", Black

I looked around online and found that Amazon not only had the lowest price, but also had it available for free 2 day shipping via Prime! Woo Hoo! This is at least a 60 pound plow, so getting it in 2 days for 'free' (probably would have cost 1/2 my Prime membership cost to just ship this) was a real bonus.Brinly has been making plows for a long time, so I figured this was going to be a decent unit. The assembly portion of the directions could use some work. You have to follow them very carefully to set the plow up properly. I installed the coulter mount upside down the first time and had to push the pin out and flip it around. Not a huge deal, but you need a punch and hammer to do it.Some of the parts had some minor scratches on them. The Brinly label on the support bar was torn a bit, but other than this everything looked pretty good in terms of 'road rash' from shipping. Fit and finish of the parts were good. The crimped lock nuts can be pretty tough to torque down by hand, so you might want to tighten them up with an air impact wrench if you have arthritis etc. The plow is a lot better quality and beefier than I anticipated.This was a whole new game for me. I never plowed anything before, but needed to before rototilling to make it easier on the equipment. I also never set up a plow before, but if you follow the instructions you should be good. After I assembled the plow and mounted it on my tractor's sleeve hitch, it only took me 10 min to get the plow set where it would flip the ground over about 5-6" deep. Made 2 passes, some adjustments in between, and it was set!I put this on a 1990s 1700 series AGCO/Allis (Simplicity Landlord) garden tractor with 18hp Briggs, hydro trans and electric-actuated sleeve hitch to raise & lower the plow. I'm running Dee Stone 23 x 10.50-12 AG tires on the rear with 50# wheel weights (100# total) & 'turfies' on the front. It plows really well in my sandy loam soil.

This product is perfectly suited for use in my small garden. It was fun, if not confusing, to assemble. Several references were made concerning the use of lock nuts yet there were none in the hardware package. No problem as I had plenty. Plowed deep and straight and true. In the final analysis a good buy.

Assembly had me annoyed, though got it done. That being said this thing is quite sturdy, which is good considering what it's used for. It definitely does what it is supposed to and plows nice and deep. I quickly realized a two or three head plow would have been more fitting to what I was doing...but that's not this product's fault.

My son has wanted this plow for a long time. Finally he saved enough money for it. It arrived quickly and was fairly simple to put together with the proper tools. He has yet to use it in the field, but has big plans for it. It is a well designed plow and works for multiple tractors with sleeve hitches. He has a JD 210 that he will run it on. It is very sturdy and heavy. Glad he finally got it!

it would of been nice to know that it did not hook up to a 3 point hitch like we were told now we have to invest in a sleeve hitch stinks just spent more money. could not mail it back once it was all put together.. would be a pain so no matter how you did it there was an added expense that we did not need

I was looking for one of these used for a while, but with used prices near new prices, I decided to just go new. Very heavy duty piece of equipment, easy to assemble, and a beast to work with. I use it on a 2100+hr John Deere 332, and it does the job I wanted it to do. Easy depth adjustment and works through heavy loam/clay similarly like a hot knife through warm butter. If you are looking to turn over worked ground or break new ground, this Brinly will do the trick.

The instructions on assembling this plow are at most vague, the bolts that hold the plow to the frog will not let the standard attach to the frog. I had to have a machine cut some of the standard to make at fit! A very aggravating piece to assemblr

Not a bad product. The quality assurance is not good. The crank is not threaded appropriately. I had to go buy new jam nuts to thread and the threaded tube does not go on easily enough to allow the the crank to turn. Too bad. I was looking forward to using this. If I want to use it I will need to find a way to get a modified crank.
