 Topic: 7060 and a 6-18 plow
Posted: 19 Nov 2011 at 5:45am |
|
I have a 6-18 2000 auto reset plow that I originally bought for parts, but it could be rebuilt. Is this something the 7060 would handle in medium to heavy soils?? Thanks, guys.

They say you need 20 horsepower for each plow plus a little more breathing room so the 7060 is rated at about 136 drawbar horsepower 6x20=120 with 16 horsepower to spare it should pull it in your soil

Back in the day I plowed with a 7060 and 7 bottom IH plow in medium to heavy soil on flat land day in and day out no problem. That was near my grandpas in MI and now I live in WI and it's hilly and I'd take a bottom off hear but even six bottoms hear would be fine I'd think.

My brother used to work for a guy back in the 70's that had a new 7030 that he pulled 6-16's with.

We used D21's weighted heavy to test the 8 bottom MonoFrame plows in heavy clay soils. Of course, 2nd gear didn't last very long.
A good 7060 should be just fine with a 6 bottom plow.

I have the same combination and it works great. I don't get in a hurry. It runs in 2nd low at a depth of 9-10" deep in silty clay loam. I use the floor shifter on the ends to shuttle across the land to the other returning furrow. My 2000 monobeam has 32" clearance that works good in corn stalks.
