Hello, new to the forum. I have a question and keep getting conflicting responses from people I know. I thought I would turn to the A-C experts! I have a D160 and am interested in a 4 row John Deere planter, with no-till. Do you belive the D160 can lift and pull the planter? I plan on planting for food plots, mainly beans, so the fertilyzer boxes will be empty. Please share you experiences with similar set-ups. I don't want to buy a planter that won't work, or have to trade for a larger tractor. I will only be planting 15-20 acres / year. Thanks!

Do you mean a model 160 diesel? IF so, it is only about 45 hp. Could have a hard time pulling a no till drill in my opinion.

Yes, a diessel 160. But, not a no-till drill. A 4 row planter w/ no-till cutters. I think it will pull it fine, just wondering if has enough hydraulic pump to lift it. Anyone?

Nobody knows how much planter a 160 will handle?
