recently bought a john deere 2010 which is rated for 47 hp, wondering if it will pull my mcCormick 3 bottom plow to plow 8 acres for silage, dont want to put to much strain on it, also was wondering it my 2010 has the strength to harvest out 13 acres of cron with a 1 row corn picker? how about 2 row corn picker?

All depends on soil with the plow. In tough fescue sod, here in central Kentucky, I wouldnt dream of being able to pull 3 plows with less than 80 hp and a lot of ballast (I pull 2 with 86 hp). The picker, piece of cake. Be particulalry careful of the transmission on the 2010, they are a nightmare to put back together (getting them open and fixed is easy, reassembly, not hardly).

Is the 2010 a rowcrop or utility? weights? calcium? Is the plow 3pt or pull? If utility probably won't pull a 3 bottom pull plow. 3pt maybe. Row crop with weight will pull a 3pt , 3 bottom but a load. Picker will be fine. I would get a 2 btm 3pt plow. But try it if right soil conditions might work, nothing to lose. Remember the tractor is old and they weren't the best model to start with and overloading is tough on a tractor....James

It will handle either picker just fine.

It should handle the plow. In some tough soils it will be a handful, but should still go ok. In normal soils (mine are tough....) you should be just about right.

You should have no problem. I've very easily done the tasks you describe with a MF 65 low wheeler, gas tractor, which is comparable to your JD in size and specs.
