Brinly SS-500 Drag Harrow

[CasualObserver 3,408]

Anybody heard of or seen the Brinly SS-500 drag harrow?

 

(as seen in Brinly attachments for  brochure....)

 

 

Not much information on them other than they're kind of rare to find. Have a line on one, might have to pick up. Wondered if anyone else had one.

Jason,

I've seen them before and seen some on the local CL also.  I have a lot of info on Brinly stuff, but none on that type harrow, unfortunately.

Like on American Pickers , Mike and Frank say " the time to buy it  ,is when you see it !"    

 

You guys and your cool emojis , wish mine would just work right   .

I have one, works pretty well behind my 520xi! I will try and get a few pics of it tomorrow.

Jason, hope I see one at pioneer???  you better grab it, if you find out its not rare you can always sell it to Me!

[CasualObserver 3,408]

Finally got this picked up.

Quite unique I'd say, looks like it fits up to a Brinly hitch as well as your slot adaptor.  

Decent shape too!

[stevasaurus 22,709]

Cool find Jason. 

[prondzy 3,881]

Awesome! yet another cool and useful attachment 

[CasualObserver 3,408]

Jumped at the chance today to get a start on freshening this up... after burning out my angle grinder with wire wheel (old cheapie that lived a good life) I spent the entire afternoon with a little gravity pot  sandblaster.

 

Went from here

 

To here today.

 

 

Hoping to be able to finish prep and maybe priming yet tomorrow . 

[prondzy 3,881]

Looking good Jason! cant wait to see it all shined up!

[Terry M-(Moderator) 2,175]

Jason...Will it be for show only?..... or are you going to use it?     Either way, sure looks like a cool attachment .

[CasualObserver 3,408]

Thanks guys. I don't know yet whether it will get used or not. Probably, will at least try it out... not like its NOS or anything. 

[stevasaurus 22,709]

I was just going to say..."That thing is not going to see any dirt is it?"  Terry beat me to it...seems we both know you Jason. 

[CasualObserver 3,408]

Was digging through some old posts for something and realized I never updated with how this turned out.

 

As displayed last summer at shows.... The Brinly SS-500 Drag Spike Harrow.

 

Pretty sure @WHX17 has a picture of me doing final assembly of this at the show!

[WHX?? 48,781]

You got it buddy!  Threw in a couple extra pics just for drill. 

So Jason comes in to the tent and dumps a box full of parts out. I first thought he was giving up the hobby was bored  and was gonna play with one of his kids old erector sets.Turns out he threw together a nice little drag harrow. My wife Cindy and one of our Iowa bros had a front row seat! Personally i think it came out so nice cause he put it together in such good company ( that nice 1067 to his back)!

Hi I live in Green Bay Area are there any shows coming up this summer that  wheel horse  aficionados would be at. I see one in  Plainfield Wisconsin in June but that one I won’t be able to attend . Thank you. Rod 

[WHX?? 48,781]

Hello Rod...too bad you can't make the one in Plainfield...  is usually a nice one. Keep an eye on the community calendar as I have several posted there. Specifically one in Symco near Manawa which is near you and of course the one in Portage which is only GT's and one of @CasualObserver favorites. There is also one in Burnett,  Dodge county and one in Berlin, Green Lake County. That one I personally will be bringing eight horses to plus @Achto will have four tractors there. Usually towards the end of the summer/fall for that one. Maybe Dan  will chime in with others.

[CasualObserver 3,408]

Hi Rod... Garden Tractor Daze is July 12-14 at the fairgrounds in Portage... just southeast of the Dells. Several of the  guys from the region have displayed there. It's a fairly young show, I think about 4 or 5 years now... but its all brands garden tractors show and swap meet. Draws a pretty good crowd and is a good time. I'll link some pics from past shows below. I think some of the other Sconnies set up at Berlin, Burnett, Edgerton and Symco too. @Achto @PeacemakerJack @Rp.wh @WHX17 @Deadguy @Snowmobileaddict 

 

 

 

 

I see Jim beat me to this while I was looking for links!

@RJC1965 Check out this site. It has a real good listing of most of the shows going on in WI. @WHX17 is right about Symco, it is an awesome grounds with entertainment going on till midnight or later.  One show that is real close to you is Valmy, by Sturgeon Bay, I have not been to this show yet but would like to check it out one of these years.

I plan on attending Tri County in Plainfield, Garden Tractor Daze in Portage, Symco, Dodge County in Burnette, North Central in Edgar, Rock River in Edgerton, Possibly Baraboo or Chilton, Pickett, Either Calumetville or Shanty Town, & Berlin this year.
