Plowing with a 7060

a 7060 will hardly know a 5 bottom plow is back there.  You will usually just run one dual on the unplowed left side so that the single rear tire on the right will be placed in the furrow.

We pulled 6-18 with our 7060 for years in central Indiana in the furrow

We pulled 6-16 with our 7030 years ago...it was a load in heavy ground. We had it sitting at 175 hp...3 gear button down and every once in a while you would have to put it in 3 low so she could cool down

7060 should be a good piece of property to own. I love mine. it's a black belly powershift, what's yours? Darrel

I pulled 5-16's with my 7010 for years in heavy bottom ground, with no problems. 3rd gear low side!

Shameless, was yours a flip bottom plow?

I believe my 7060 is 160 horse..

Is an online easier on the tractor than an in furrow?

Paco...no, mine was a semi mount furrow plow, on land and furrow pulls no different if tractor is set up right. on land is usually a bigger plow and allows the operator to plow with duals left on so you don't hafta mount and dismount the duals all the time (labor saver). you'll be fine with that plow pictured on your 7060! but do put front weights on it. (full set).

Definitely hang a full set of weights on it...even at 160hp you should pull it fine in 3.

In furrow plows are easier to run a straight line.  Once you get a furrow started, you just drive your right side in it.  On land you have to keep an eye out to make sur eyou aren't wandering.

There have been lots of 5 bottom on land rollover plows used on 7060's around here over the years with no problems, just be careful, it is a lot of weight back there.

In theory, you would think the onland would pull better, equal traction on both wheels, etc., but in practice the right wheel without a dual in the furrow works better.  Partly it's due to the center of tractor being closer to center of draft on the plow, and also the better traction of the furrow wheel I think.  When we got our 220 some years ago, we set it up for an on land hitch with duals, and went back to having the right wheel in the furrow.  Plus as noted it's much easier to keep going straight!

Check to see if you can drop a bottom off of that plow....seems a lot of them are set up that way.

my 7060 pulled my old 6z16 melroe anchor fine with singles, no fluid, and IIRC only one extra set of wheel weights.   Going up hills in my sand would stop me though, 1FastHigh, and I'd drop it to 1HSlow but didn't have the weight and would spin out.

I only needed to break the land so I wasn't too worried about efficiency.

and I plowed horribly, but got a good kill regardless.

on the flat areas, I could have pulled in 2HF

for me, weight was the limiting factor, which surprised me, as the 7060 is almost double the weight of my Case930, and the 930 is rated at 6 bottoms. I doubt it would pull my 6z16 anchor though
