I'd let this one pass - the plow is probably bigger than the tractor. I'd use the following 1-1.5 drawbar hp per plow inch as a guideline. It's not to say that a Ford 5600 will not pull a 3-16 plow - It probably will but will strain the tractor and have problems with the really tough plowing. 2 bottom plows = 1 drawbar hp per 1" of plow - row crop 2-16 = 32 hp ~ Farmall M (33hp drawbar) 2-18 = 36 hp ~ Farmall Super M (39hp drawbar) For 28" tires (utility tractors)add .25 hp per inch 2-12 = 30 hp ~ Ford 2600 (30hp drawbar) 2-14 = 35 hp ~ Ford 3600 (34hp drawbar) 2-16 = 40 hp ~ Ford 4600 (45hp drawbar) 2-18 = 45 hp ~ Ford 4600 (45hp drawbar) 3 bottom plows = 1.25 drawbar hp per 1" of plow - row crop 3-12 = 45 hp ~ Ford 5600 (52hp drawbar) 3-16 = 60 hp ~ Ford 6600 (58hp drawbar) 3-18 = 68 hp ~ Ford 7600 (67hp drawbar) 4 bottom plows = 1.5 drawbar hp per 1" of plow - row crop 4-14 = 84 hp ~ Ford 8600 (93hp drawbar) 4-16 = 96 hp ~ Ford 9600 (116hp drawbar) 4-18 = 108hp ~ Ford 9600 (116hp drawbar)
