I plowed with 4-14's with a Super M-TA....2nd gear High side of the T/A. Field was rolling clay hills, old corn ground, 6-7" deep. M-TA was Same displacement but lower compression & HP than a '50 M with Firecraters or M&W's....
Following year with a good running stock 450 gas I was in 3rd gear.... So not impossible, or even uncommon... But I agree, 3-16's in 3rd and maybe even 4th gear is better use of the HP & weight of an M. I spent a few days pulling 3-14's with Dad's '51 M&W equipped M.... In 4th it would walk away & hide from the Super M-TA I mentioned above pulling the same 3-14's in 3rd gear.
As with most things Your local conditions & mileage may vary.....
