Just a word of warning- even a little 10hp Briggs has more than enough ooomph to bust up the planetarys in these tractors when you really hang them and have chains on. Twice now I've done this- once when I didn't realize the chains were froze into the dirt and again plowing with the moldboard and chains on trying to rip up an old strawberry bed in dry conditions. I think the chains are best left off. Better spin a bit than break another $300.00 worth of parts.
I don't mean this as a bash on the design, it was my fault entirely. Just a word of warning that this setup really puts a lot of torque on things.
