I would recommend a single bottom 12" plow, especially since you have turf tires. I have a two bottom that I pull with my 186D, but I have filled ag tires, wheel weights, 250 lbs of suitcase weights, and additional mass from heavy side cultivators. I have to pull it in low range first gear, and still run out of traction easily, even though my machine weighs over 2500 lbs in operating trim. It would be much more efficient to go faster with a more easily pulled plow, and it would do a better job. I suspect the single bottom plow would be easier to set up correctly, too.
