An M6 is 111 hpJMHO
I run treated water in rears on a Mahindra 8560, which is a heavy tractor. Wheel weights won’t pull ‘more’ plow if the tractor can’t slip the wheels engaged in the ground.
Ground would have to be soft and sweet for a 60 hp to roll dirt with a 5 bottom plow.
I had a 8’ disk in dry ground yesterday scratching out a hardpan duckhole to plant and due to tires being less than 60%, had to engage FWD just to keep a big disk moving.
A 4 or 5 bottom would stopped me dead in my tracks.
Loaded rears are great to help balance the FEL but most times I have to add a implement or 1000# 3pt counter weight to handle big loads with forks.
