Will My Tractor Handle a No-Till Drill?

[jenkinsph]

I own a JD 5075 4wd cab and want to rent a 10ft JD 1590 no till-drill for about 6 acres of food plots this fall instead of using a disk, harrow, cultipacker, etc. While looking online, they recommend a tractor with 85 pto hp for this model drill. However, this drill is pulled and the pto is not utilized. The book shows the weight is just over 3k pounds unloaded. I expect to have roughly 600 lbs of seed in the hopper. Overall weight should definitely be under 4k pounds.

Do you think my 75hp JD 4x4 will have any problem pulling this drill? The property is predominately flat and dry. I also have a FEL. Estimated weight of my tractor with FEL and loaded tires is close to 10k lbs. The drill uses hydraulics to lift/lower the wheels. This is NOT a 3ph implement.

I think your tractor can handle this drill in the field but might need a lower ground speed.

Curious about getting the drill from its current location to your farm and back. That might be the larger issue.

The plan is to pull the drill with my Chevy 2500 diesel approximately 8 miles to the property. I'm not sure of the max recommend speed, but probably 20mph.
