How wide of field cultivator?

How deep, what kind of soil, etc, etc. I'd say you'd be safe with 20. 25 might be a stretch. Would be "here" anyway.

In high school I spent quite a few hours in a JD 4430 with a 20 ft. field cultivator. If I remember right they're 120 or 125 hp.
 
Duals? Maybe 20 feet.

18 would be fine.

Depends a bit on soil type, how deep you want to go.

I pull a 20 with a 2-135 White. Hauls it right along. Not saying it wouldn't handle a little more.
 
Also depends what shovels you use....I had a 24 foot behind a 2wd 4430, (rated 125, cranked 137) worked fine with spike shovels. Put on 4 inch duckfoot shovels and had to usually drop a gear. Now I have 6 inch sweeps on it, pull it with 4450 MFWD, rated 145, cranks 190.
 
My 115hp pulls a 19 ft over fall chisel plowed ground, but
definitely knows it's there(4.5mph). Second time over I can
go a gear faster not as deep (5.5mph ) . It has the 7 in
sweeps on it. I don't have any hills, if I did I think I'd be in
traction trouble.
 
Well I bought a 24 ft field cultivator for super cheap. Im just hoping my 9600 with duals will beable to handle it. It will be on hilly, lighter soils and I plan to run it 3 to 4'' deep if I can.
 
I've got a 22 foot on my TW20, works in my tough soil.
Traction becomes a problem, my duals are getting smooth....

Just this afternoon I was at the in-law's farm and
my FIL said that he tried out his 30-ft cultivator
on his new-to-him CIH 8910 2WD which also has
135hp. The regular tractor for this job is the
175hp FWA 7230 but that was on the disk so he
tried the smaller machine. He said that in the
dry ground it was OK but in the damp ground closer
to the hedgerow it spun pretty bad. (It has 18.4-
42 duals in good condition.) Depth was a couple
inches in shallow-chiseled ground. By the way he
described it I doubt he will be trying it again.
