Anybody have any idea if a 6080 fwa will pull a 6 row planter with splitter units? Tractor runs good and has like new tires all the way around but no duals. I have some decent hills but those fields are in no-till. Need to figure out if I can use the 6080 or I need to dig the old 190 series 3 out of the barn and use it. Borrowed a 7050 to pull the planter last year because i got it late.

We used to pull a 6 row with a D17 with no problems in hills. We now pull a 16 row with an 8030 FWA. You should be fine with the 6080 FWA.

I would bet that a 6080 FWA would outpull a 190XT anyway in those conditions.

Yes it will. I used a 2WD model years ago to do it. Worked better with duals but it worked OK with singles

I'd have to agree with Dan. A FWA 6080 will outpull a 190xt. You should be fine.
