   I pulled 4x14s with a D17 as easy as I pulled 3X16s with the same tractor.

   We pulled 4x14s w/ Dad's series I D17.  Was a snap coupler high clearance with the tail wheel.  Also, was pretty decent soil.  Now, I struggle to pull 3x14s w/ my WD45 in the hard clay soil around where I live while Dad pulled 3x14s with his WD back home.  Soil type seems to make a big difference.

   I always thought a 'rile of thumb' was 10HP per furrow/blade and10HP for the tractor.. B=20hp, 10 for tractor, 1 for blade D-14=40HP, 10 for tractor + 3*10 for plow Jay | |
