plow tractor

[Grumpy]

I bought a JD GT235. put a JD sleeve hitch on. not really happy with the hitch. has anyone worked on one to make it easier to lift?

 

[chieffan]

Any way to put a small electric 12V winch on the back of your tractor to lift it? That is what I have on my Bolens for the sleeve hitch with plow or self powered tiller.

I though about, but thinking about linear actuator.also

thanks for the info

Good to hear from you GL I would go with the actuator also. They aren’t that expensive and not that bad of an install.

Don’t think it’s the grumpy your thinking of Jim. But could be. No Gl in front of the grumpy.
I could be wrong.

I remember meeting you at the first plow day I attended at Daniels. And them again at the Keck Gonnerman plow day at Mt. Vernon Indiana. Been about 5 years ago. I remember you posted quite often, usually with some valuable information.

 

[Grumpy]

I remember you.Thanks for the good words.

I remember you.Thanks for the good words.

I was looking to find a picture of you from those times. Haven't found one, evidently you aren't very photogenic.
I followed you advice and spaced my rear wheels out to line up with the front wheels. Makes a big difference in the furrow!!
I also remember that the dirt in Mt. Vernon that year was like plowing asphalt!

Nope, Noel you are thinking of GL Grumpy, i.e. Gary from Huntington Indiana. He had that line written in his signature. He was actually on the forum a few months back.

Glad to see you back grumpy, I remember you from plow days, you always had an older Cub there, I had the yellow/white sears.
You probably haven't heard since you mentioned him, but Kenny unexpectedly passed away about 6 weeks ago.

 

[Grumpy]

Sorry to here that. I always enjoyed talking to him.
