Al: I see where you are comming from on this and there are a few problems with model numbers. In many cases auctioneering firms and seller often don't know the model number. Most fast hitch implements will work on a 340, the limiting factor being size I mentioned in earlier post regarding plows, disks and cultivators. Often disks and cultivators will use same model number for all. For example the IH model 130 disk, available either in fast hitch or Cat II 3 point hitch and as 7.5', 9' and 10.5'. 5 possible disks all same model. Same with the mounted 45 cultivator, either fast hitch or 3point hitch and available in sizes from 8.5 to 18.5 feet. To complicate that even further there was also a model 45 trailer, and that one went all the way to 30' width before production ended. Plows are a bit different, just a couple of examples C-25 and C-35 two and three bottom respectively Same with 36 and 46- 3 and 4 bottom. Then to throw you completely 531 and 541- 3 and 4 bottom, 211 ans 311- 2 and 3 bottom. The only thing consistant on the plow is one diget in the model was the number of bottoms, but then that is quite obvious anyway. IH didn't even follow that rule of thumb with bigger plows in the 5-6 bottom range.

The very best thing to follow is 340 at about 30 hp so 2 bottom plow, disks will require about 1 to 1.25 hp per blade and cultivators about 1 to 1.5 hp depending on type of tooth. Depth of tillage will affect of all tillage tools. I like to favor the smaller size as it assures you can do quite deep tillage if you wish, and for the part timer he is not looking for production in acres per hour.
