Thanks Denny: ..but you left out the lowest gear, 1st gear. Your saying that if one would put it in the lowest gear and apply 50HP it would have the highest chance of failing due to 50HP? At the tractor pulls I see stock M's pulling their hardest in 1st gear. Many of these "stock" M's are peped up stock pulling close to 50HP. Non stock run much higher than 50HP. I don't see many busted drivetrains. Granted there are limits to how much extra power is too much. I'll guess that snapping a clutch or hitting lots of stones while plowing would break something sooner with the extra power than keeping it at original stock 40HP or so. Back to the original question I'll still say that 4-14's would be OK if he uses reasonable care. Most likely he is not plowing hundreds of acres full time. And again if his soil is lighter, you may be way too conserned. There is a potato growing area 40 miles from me that is sandy-peat soil. A piece of cake for 4-14's.(no clay) ralph
