Horsepower question

[jenkinsph]

I have a L3400 with R4 tires with Rimguard and FEL that I use for food plots. Our ground is very sandy and hilly. The L3400 will pull the 6' disc as deep as I want it on level ground, but up the hills I have to really nurse it. The tractor is a hydro and starts to lose power as it goes unless I ease off on the depth. I'm guessing this is mainly a horsepower issue as I can drive up the hills without much power loss with the disc up. I need the R4 tires as I use the equipment on our lawn occasionally so R1's are not a viable option for me. The disc is a Land Pride 3 pt with 18" disc's and weighs 985 lbs. How much more HP do I need to not have to worry about the uphill trips. I don't have an unlimited wallet "unfortunately" so I want to get something that will work but not overkill. After just talking to a dealer he said I would need to go to 50 HP. I am getting something with a cab but looking for any suggestions.

Thanks

In your other thread you mentioned the Deere 4320 cab, I would recommend you spend a few more bucks for the 4520 cab that is a 12hp increase and should be very noticable improvent when going uphill. The 25% increase in power really helps imo. The faster your ground speed is the more you will notice the difference the extra hp will make.
