Technically you have too many variables to give you a precise answer. Number of bottoms is one factor but you must also factor in width of cut of each bottom.

This chart will apply whether plow is mounted, semi-mounted or trailing. You can also vary on that setting by probably 10%, and still do good plowing. However if the setting is perfect you will pull the plow much easier. I had one of these charts years ago. I would expect they are still available from county ag reps or ag engineering depts. I wouldn't disturb anyone in sales these days, the guys that knew are either retired or dead. Allan's basically got it right.
