Plowing New Garden Spot with Craftsman GT

Plowing New Garden Spot with Craftsman GT 3000 with a 10" Brinly moldboard Plow. This is not the best way to do it but I have 6 months to get this garden spot ready. Just a little at a time.

[@deangelopack8405]

that is an in-furrow plow.. the right tires of your tractor goes in the furrow the plow leaves.. nice tractor and plow.. good luck gardening

[@nonyadamnbusiness9887]

Hints for people looking to plow. Sit the left side of the tractor on 6x6 blocks while on a level concrete surface and adjust the plow so that the point of the share is on the ground and the back of the landslide is just off the ground 1/4 to 1/2". Adjust more level in the field if it tries to plunge. Use tire chains or switch to R1s. Don't remove the coulter. Do remove the mowing deck, but not until you've scalped the place to be plowed. It works even better to burn it off.

[@markjohnson7508]

Gt series are really a great tractor. I just bought a 3000gt. Its definitely a garden tractor got lug nutted tires and is heavy. Lov it

[@elhigh]

Take the deck off, get some ags on the rears, add weights.

[@frios011]

Its a GT which stands for GARDEN TRACTOR! LAWN tractors are strictly for mowing and light duty pulling. That one is made for working. Big clue is the lugs on the rear wheels for the heavy duty transmission.

[@anthonypoole6901]

Lol im digging the lawnmower making a garden area. Im about to buy one of those DR tillers for the lawn mower.

[@Fowlmouthfarmer]

Don't mind the negative comments. It appears to be working for what you want. Do what you can with what you've got. Good luck with your garden.

[@Cohort227]

Thank you Joshua I do appreciate that.

[@kevintomb]

I don't see many negative comments, but several are making suggestions that would make it work better. How is that negative?

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

Badass though!! Great idea

[@rockiemountin7535]

What you need is wheel weights and chains, it will make plowing much Easier

[@dmitrikguajardo6006]

Nice attachment

[@jtbassgambler2594]

Those are good ole tractor i still have em n strong

[@turbo5488]

And some ag tires for the back

[@rockman49er]

I got same mower and attachments except mine has a disk on it also have the tiller with separate motor

[@ww321]

How well did your lawnmower hold up using it for a tractor? I have that same model I just bought used. Thanks for the video😊

[@PaulieDetmurds]

Those turf tires don't help you much, I put the AG tires on mine, but I don't plow the land, mine is simply for plowing snow. I removed the mower deck, the brackets that holds the wheels of the mower deck broke off at the weld. Bought a John Deere D130 for cutting the grass. My Craftsman is a GT 5000, and I like it a lot, but was wondering if yours still runs? Thank You

[@fracturedhearts3734]

Does it smoke?

[@bdn73g]

cohor227, how did you attach the Brinly to your lawn mower? what is that attachment you used to raise and lower the plow? thanks..

[@Cohort227]

Craftsman makes a sleeve hitch receiver for their mowers. It allows you to attach any of their implements. I bought this one used off of Craigslist. It works pretty good.

[@animallover-oj2ff]

Don't mind the you tube know it all's that have thousands of dollars to spend on a garden tractors to mow their moderate size yards. for all the people who want to plow a garden or use a box blade on the drive way, or plow some snow every year these will work fine for several years, until you can figure out what you want, and need. there are lots of older G/T out there that was designed to do what ever you want it to do for a reasonable price with the added benefit of learning to work on and appreciate old iron that never wears out, or you can save some bucks for a new one that will last for many years. watch craigs list, local auctions or ebay to slowly build up your attachments at a reasonable price. just be patient. if you figure out its not the life stile you want to follow then you are not out 10k.

[@bendailey6070]

I'm impressed, especially since it doesn't have tractor tread tires.l

[@negativefishermen9286]

you really need some wheel weights or liquid ballast

[@billstokes6740]

You need a wheel weight on the outboard wheel, also you need a coulter to cut the sod. mower deck doesn't help. I used to plow 4 acres with a 1974 ,16 hp sears tractor.

[@nathanv2358]

Wheel weights and chains, and maybe a Gps and John deere 8RX will perfect the plowing a little bit.

Gonna burn some belts hoewing like that. Although my GT 5000 is killer.

[@kevinsouthwell4523]

what horsepower was that lawn tractor?

[@Cohort227]

22

[@Cyclonut96]

its not a lawn mover, it is a garden tractor, (GT) which is a cut above, to handle implements. Keep practicing...

[@markjohnson7508]

Spare trans be good idea. Don't sound too good

[@Starkster50]

What transmission does the GT3000 have ? I'm very impressed !!!

[@williamajthompson9166]

That has a wimpy K91 TuffTork. Not a good transmission for pulling any implements. Only a 1.2 quart hydrostatic fluid level. And a sealed unit. Meaning you can't change the filter or flush them. A throw away hydrostatic vs the older Eaton, sunstrand, and IH built hydrostatic transmissions.

[@jeremydavis2595]

@@williamajthompson9166 LOL those have a Hydro-Gear 210-3010 with a separate BDU-10 pump, the same pump that the later Cub Cadets had and some of the 200 series Deere tractors in the early 90s. Fully serviceable unit, spin on filter and holds between 2 & 3 qts of 20w50 on an oil change. Not trying to be a prick about it, just presenting the facts. Before anyone turns into a smartass just know, I know what I am talking about, I have repaired enough GTs that I know every nut & bolt on most of them out there and that's a fact. The later GT6000 used a Hyrdo-Gear G730 which still uses a spin on filter. The only reason for the outcome of the job in this video was operator error, these Brinly plows work awesome when set up correctly, and with mower deck off of tractor.

[@bobivanski5635]

Look I’m a retired farmer. Instead throwing insults or outer useless shit at you. First thing we would have done if we were planting a new field covered with sod wold be to kill the grass. Round up or a similar herbicide. Good luck with your new garden nothing like fresh vegetables 🌽

[@RobertJohnson-th2yf]

So, you would have put poison down to kill the grass and then plant crops that you would eat? You can do that with some GMO crops but not if you're planting organic or heirloom.

Plowing turns over the grass to kill it and put nutrition back into soil man have only been doing this for thousands of years Next spring you would replow it then till it for planting

weights and if your going to use turf tires, slap some tire chains on. That makes the difference... Good looking tractor though
