I have an Oliver super 77 and a John Deere A that I use to pull a Deere 3-14 pull type plow,and it is a pretty good load for either one of them.My brother has a WD45 with a 3-16 snap coupler plow that he pulls in the same field with out breaking a sweat.What gives here ? They are all about 40 Hp tractors.Is it the plow,torque,or what? I guess I need to get one.

The big selling speal for AC with the WD WD45 and D series tractors was the snap cupler hitch transfered more hp to the impliment rather than using it to push a lot of extra iron around. With the draft control the lift would nudge the plow when the bacward pull increased to keep slipage to a min. The other factor in the extra power is the stile of plow. I prefer how the field looks behind an Oliver plow. The AC moboard doesn't push the slab over as far and leaves a rougher looking field unless you travel faster and the momentom roles the soil on over. AC even had a semi mounted disk?? for lack of what else to call it, that fastened in the snap cupler and lift arms but trailed on its own wheels then the draft controll could work on the disk as well. Slick idea just couldnt compete with 3point. IH even incorperated into fast hitch about the same time frame.

When I say we pulled ( still do ) 4-14" semi-mounted plows with our two WD-45's, ---That means 8 furrows, each way across the field..16 to the round....how many horses does it take to pull an 8 bottom plow.???? That was in ALL kinds of ground....Yellow Wax, Black Wax..even Black Wax trampled with Bull-- Dozers (compacted)...and Never drop to 1st gear... The WD-45's were the first of the REAL Horse Power Tractors...!! We found that we used less fuel per acre with the 4-bottom, compared with the 3-bottom, and did a better-looking job..and then, you can plow the dead-furrows shut, too....

First of all, the Allis has more drawbar horsepower. This is a function of tractor weight (heavier tractors deliver less horsepower to the drawbar) and the amount of horsepower the engine can deliver. I don't think the John Deere or Oliver are in the same class as a '45, though. The Allis is rated at 43 hp, I believe, and I doubt these other two tractors deliver much over 30 hp. Another factor is the mounted plow. Mounted plows are usually more efficient than trailer plows.

When pulling the snap coupler plows, the draft of the plow would put more weight to the rear wheels and putting more power to the ground. With the assisstance of the hydralic pump to keep adjusting to the changing amount of pull on the plow would let you keep your focus in front of the tractor. With all the weight being transferred to the rear wheels, you could plow all day in 3rd gear with a 4-bottom plow and not have to keep adjusting the depth, just let the tractor do the work. Thats what there for!
