Does anyone know if there is a rating for the amount of HP required to pull a certain width of impliment? For instance a 25 ft soil finisher needs a 180 hp tractor to pull it. This would break down to 7.2 HP per foot. So if I have a 100 hp tractor I need to be looking at a soil finisher 13.8 or 14 ft wide.
What about chisel plows and rippers. I have read that you need at a minimum 10HP per shank with spikes attached. And about 20HP per shank if a 4" moldboard is attached.
Any guidance out there?
