 I didn't mean to stir up the age old how many hp per plow and what can pull what argument. These things tend to get pretty heated and have pretty much been run into the ground. I simply wanted marlowe to understand that the 650 is much more tractor than the 560. If you were to make a living farming with such equipment, you would not plow with 5 bottoms and a 650. Plowing as most of us see it these days (just for fun and a good tractor workout) is usually done with bigger plows than the tractor pulling them would have normally used. We rarely plow old sod ground or extremely dry ground for plow days. The ground is usually stalk ground that was tilled the year before if not disced within the last week. There is no doubt in my mind that a 650 would pull 5-14s in these conditions, but would probably struggle at times with 4-14s or 16s in dry alfalfa ground that has not been plowed in years. This discussion raged on for a while at Johnnypopper.com about a 80/820/830. Hopefully the picture posts. If not, there are three of them in the tractor photos. Somebody sent me these pictures from their plow day.
