So many variables to this ..Soil type ,Depth of work,Quality of plough and type of tractor....
When we farmed in england a fordson major (50hp) pulled 3 bottom ploughs on 300 acres in the past and 75hp fwa would take 3 bottom rollover or 4 bottom ploughs.
Here in manitoba i struggle pulling 6 bottoms with 154hp..?????????
The european style ploughs do pull easier and turn a much better furrow..
