Looking at buying something like this. John Deere - 1100 9' Field Cultivator - Cultivators - Acreage Equipment - Catalog - Ludens Inc.
Have not used any tillage equipment in about ten years and I have forgot the rules of thumb. I know I pulled a 7' cultivator with a 4WD 47 hp tractor. Wondering if my current 95 HP 2WD tractor could handle a 15' cultivator?
I know if you take the sweeps off and try to run the chisels deep it takes a ton of HP but I don't really remember the plow having a lot of drag with the sweeps on but it has been a long time.
