have been on the ford forum mostly as i own a 2/8/9n hybrid and also a 1955 ford 640.they have been very helpful over there but wanted to get some opinions from other tractor owners. i am currently shredding on two different places kinda on a do what you think needs to be done basis. these are both year round jobs and the total acreage of both places is100 acres. i mostly shred the roads (15') and around the stock tanks. i also cut strips in some big fields for bird hunters (quail). i was asked to disc some food plots and possibly other fields. question is this, what size harrow should i look into buying? the 640 would be the tractor i would use the most, but the N may have its turn. should i get a 5 1/2'. either harrow will fit on my trailer, but the N may have trouble with the 6'. any and all questions and/or comments are welcome.

i decided to go ahead with the 6', will probably not use the N, somehow my wife decided that it is her tractor for shredding. finally she helped me make a decision and she don't even know it.
thanks for the input.

It depends a lot on the soil, Larry. I pull a 6' in sandy soil with my little Farmall A with no problems at all. I think if the soil was heavier and more compacted, it would not do it unless I adjusted for a lot less bite.
