Scruffy: I farmed sandy loam and in that soil 766 was considered 6x16 plow tractor. I had one out on demo once, it played with my 5x16 semi mount. I usually pulled that plow with 656D. Load her down and plow at 3 to 3.5 mph, you'll have a lot less breakage. Those guys who say they don't plow right at the slower speed just don't have the plow set right. You can make any plow in good condition do perfect plowing at 1 mph if you want. Remember, your 766 pulling 5x16 at 3.5 mph will plow close to 3 acres per hour. and pulling 4x16 at 4.5 mph close to 3 acres per hour. I am talking plowing 8" deep. Remember, farming to make money, is NOT being married to the parts counter. My 1066 would pull my 25' vibra shank cultivator at 10 mph, if you didn't mind buying a $35. shank per hour. Planting behind it was like going over waves on water. Thankfully we got that cowboy stopped after 5 acres. It took 5 years to take the waves out of that soil. Saw a guy doing that same thing the other day, cultivator was just bouncing. It would go about 6" to 8" deep then almost clear the ground. Guys like that with too much horse power have made a mess of much of the farmland in North America. I don't know how they manage to get any uniform depth when seeding.

The draft forces are
