Well it looked like I started a lot of discussion some like what I did others found the variables - and their are a lot of them. Tire size (H&W), lug type, radial ?, weight, weight distribution, soil conditions, weather, type of plow (some pull harder than others), points on the plow, and plowing depth just to name some of the variables. (I'm sure someone will fill in the rest) The chart I created was baised on clay soils and mounted plows for the 3 & 4 bottom models that tend to pull harder than trailing plows.

I guess you could drop the hp requirement to 1hp per inch for trailing plows putting a 6-18 with in reach of the 9600. I'd stick to the chart however for rollovers. I think we can all agree that the tractors specified are up to the challange. When all is said and done the only way to really determine the best tractor / plow combination is to try it.
