The last few hours I have been searching plow sizing per tractor or per horsepower. I found a lot of information on 30 hp tractors. I have a 6520 Mahindra (57 PTO horspower) 4WD with loader and a backhoe subframe for a Bradco/Mahindra 511 backhoe. Without the hoe it weighs around 10,000 pounds. I also plan on loading the tires. Can I put a 5-12 bottom plow or maybe a 4-16 plow? How about 6-12? I have read a lot of reposted Farmwithjunk's post to know to stay away from John Deere plows and look at White or Oliver or evan Ford plows. So...................................how many bottoms can I pull at 4-5 mph and what size?
Also, I have a real old Amco 9 foot offset disc I reconditioned and repainted. A lot of folks said I couldn't pull it and I did while having fun discing a 7 acre Jiggs hay patch. You can read about it here............ http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/270878-amco-offset-disc.html?highlight=amco+disc
