Thanks for the input everyone, very helpful and good to have different ideas about how it may – or may not – perform. It might be a complete disaster!
I came across the Merry Tiller plough at York Machinery Sale, nobody wanted it and I purchased it and the accompanying wheels for something like £20. Oddly the chap that bought the Merry Tiller in the previous lot didn’t want the plough – perhaps he already had one. And that’s how I came to have the plough – it was either me or the scrap man!
I do have the proper Brinly plough for the John Deere (also fits my Cub Cadet 100) but I’ve never used it or even had it attached to either tractor – it’s been in the loft for many many years, I’ve just taken a photo of it in the dust and cobwebs. I also have a photo of a John Deere model on my shelf with the same plough attached to show what it should vaguely be like.
Back to the Merry Tiller plough, I just intend to break up some good topsoil that was put in a garden last week so nothing difficult for it. I did try it in the field where the grass has recently been cut and it dug in well and was fine. However as Terrano rightly commented it probably wouldn’t be the best choice for where the going was a bit tough.
Photos of the end result Geoff? Perhaps, maybe, we shall see! But it’s all good fun and great to use the machines we all have.
