TN65 and No-till drill

[welder1]

How will a 2WD TN65 do with a 7ft No-till? (Rolling terrain with moderate hills), Drill is a Great Plains pull type.

No problem. I have pulled a 10' with a Deere 5520.

I assume you have AG tires (R1) 28's or larger with wheel weights and loaded tires.

If that is the case, just make sure the grass is reasonably dry so it doesn't push you downhill. Otherwise, should be no problem.

I too have used a large Great Plains no-till drill and my land is quite hilly. No problem except I accidentally popped the clutch (foot slipped off the pedal) once and lifted the front tires higher than I was comfortable with. FYI, I was ballasted to about 8800 lbs. Your TN65 might be significantly lighter. Consider front suitcase weights.

Thanks for the replies, I don't own the tractor yet, just considering purchasing it and pulling the drill I can rent from my County soil conservation district is the main concern.

I pull a 10 foot no till with no strain to the tractor at all with our TN65. This is a very good tractor choice. We have had no problems at all with ours.
