Ed: you can not use that precise of guide line, the soils are too varried across North America. That chart must be for awfully heavy clay. I pulled 5 x 16, 8" deep in sandy loam on the East Coast with a Farmall 656D. Here in SW Ontario's heavy clay they pull 4 x 14 with that same tractor plowing 8" deep and it works a lot harder than mine did. Just re looking the chart, if it is right there have been one heck of a lot of over worked tractors across North America. No one ever hooked onto less the 3 x 14 or 16 with a Farmall M. I can pull 2x12 in heavy clay with my Farmall 130. Your chart says nothing about depth and depth will definately make a difference. That chart must have drawn up by a couple of guys who spent too long in a bar. I mean if that 9600 wouldn't pull 6 x 16, 8" deep in any farmable soil, I'd cut it up for scrap.
