Plowing my neighbor's garden plot with a Case 224. This is my first week of using this particular plow. I have been fine tuning the adjustments to try to get it just right. This is the 3rd garden I have done in as many days, so by this point it is getting pretty close to where I want it, but not perfect yet. The L-11 weight kit (160lbs) is really helping to keep the front end down and steerable, and the D-8 rear set (110lbs) is helping the 10.5 turfs with 2 link chains get a good bite. This next week or so I will be getting RimGard in both rears which will give me another 100lbs or so. This thing is a TANK!!!!!

- is there a sleeve hitch that works with mowers with 16" wheels?
I have a Murray 15hp 42" riding mower. I need to attach a box scraper to it. I can't buy Murray parts anymore b/c they are out of business and the parts are no longer available. All of the other brands of sleeve hitch require 23" wheels. If I had the ground clearance I could make another brand work, but I don't. Any suggestions?
A There are many companies that make universal sleeve hitches. Here is just one. http://www.johnnyproducts.com/J_Bucket_HTMs/UNI_Sleeve_Hitch.htm You can also get good answers to questions like this at the gardenweb forums. http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/tractor/

- Which garden tractor should I buy?
I'm looking at two tractors for a gardening business: One is a mid-eighties Murray 18hp, cast iron rear end, comes with scraper, box scraper, turn plow, disk and cultivator (no mower!) and brand new ag rear tires. $750 The other is a mid-nineties Craftsman 19.5hp garden tractor with no attachments (and no sleeve hitch installed), but does have a mowing deck. $600 So with the Craftsman I'd have to invest in a $100 sleeve hitch, plus used plow, disk, cultivator and scraper blade. Which tractor would you buy given the two? I went ahead and bought the Murray, since others have said newer Craftsman tractors aren't anything like they used to be. I used to have a Murray lawn mower and it was garbage, so I was hesitant. This tractor is nothing like the smaller ones they used to sell. Thanks for your suggestions & advice!!
A On an "either-or" basis i'd go with the newer one, but neither one would be my first choice. the final choice would have to be based on how you plan to use it, is it for mowering or for the attachments? i have some of those attachments that i haven't used in years. myself, I'd work the price down on the Craftsman about $100 and make sure it is in good running conditions. check the oil and air filter for dirty condition [was it mantained?] make sure everything is operating correctly and there are no "band-aid" repairs. drive it and make sure it does the job you want it for, i.e. is the mower deck fully fuctional? is there a grass catcher if that's important? do they have manuals and spare parts? of course, my prefered tractors: John-Deere Cub Ford
