| We used to pull a 6/11 kinze with a 6310 FWA John Deere, which is about 90 hp. We pulled it in the hills and got along fine with singles. |

Guys used to pull 12/23's around here with 1066 IH's. I've been told they pull very easy. Currently looking for a 12/23 myself. Planned on pulling it with an 2wd 8070 but could use the D-21 or 220 in a pinch. ------------- Making a living farming with and working on Allis Equipment |

We have, well, we had a 12 row Twin Line until we traded it recently. We pulled it with a variety of tractors, including a AGCO RT150, AGCO DT200, MF 2745, and we even used a friend's AC 7000 one year. The way I heard it, that was all the 7000 wanted, but it pulled it. I think you'd be fine with a 110 hp FWA. ------------- 1956 WD45 Narrow Front Factory Power Steering, 1953 WD Wide Front Allis Express in Muncie, IN |

| You don't NEED duals to pull it, but I would certainly say it's a good idea. You always want to try to spread your weight out when you're pulling something like that. How much tongue weight does this planter have? |

duals would be a good idea, like nevin said to balance the weight and more traction in hills & wet sopts. we pull a 8 row kinze with interplants with a 7045 w/duals. it handles it about right, but you know it's back there when u got the bean units full n pullin a hill! also when transportin, i don't run quite wide open cause it can get the draw bar bouncing about like if i take our 600 bu. grain cart 2/3's loaded on the road. as u know 4wd makes a heckuva difference. i'd say you'd b fine but go with duals. good luck |
