Wheel horse plough

[Tom 215]

Hi all,

 

With the recent sale of the Brinly plough for over £600 and having no luck finding one and after seeing Marks amazing adaptation of a Barford atom plough I set about adapting a spare Barford atom plough I had. I only have a slot hitch at the moment so I adapted it to suit a slot hitch but no welding or modification was made to the plough I just used the original bolt holes which means it can be reverted back to a plough for a Barford atom or even changed for a sleeve hitch. I cut a part out of some 8" box section we had to make the L-shaped bracket and then used a piece off of an old forklift carriage for the bar which will go in the slot hitch and be welded to the underside of the L-shaped bracket. It's currently only G-clamped.

 

 

I will cut the bracket down so there is no risk of it hitting the fender and so the adjustment lever has enough space to move.

Well done Tom, if it works as good as it looks you've cracked it

Looks good Tom

 

£600 for a brinly     I would expect the tractor to pull it with that price

Nice work tom!

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all the positive comments. I can't wait to test it and hope the geometry of it works out OK. There is a fair bit of adjustment on the plough itself so I am hopeful. Keep watching as there is more to come soon
