I guess if you only have that much topsoil I can now see where you would analyze the operation of the draft the way you do.
When that �suck� first takes a bite, it does tend to �compress� the tires just a bit. I would imagine this was the level you were at in your plowing, etc. and this is how you read it.
However, �here� after the suck is struck that implement is pulling down so darned hard on the tractor, wheel weights are hardly even needed. Keeping in mind that I use fully mounted plows, can tell you that I have never, ever seen a wheel slip while plowing unless it was from just plain old mud; it�ll bog/kill the tractor first.
Have spent many a year watching that draft physically lift the implement out of the ground. �Course like I say, an 8� furrow would be a �skip� to me.
Hooked on to the tumble plow one time with both a 2010JD and also with an H. Think those old plows were what? 2-12s? Anyway, neither tractor would pull the plow past the suck. When the 2-bottom plow hit running depth ('bout 3 feet), it just flat stopped both of those little guys.
Guess that�s why I�m always so skeptical when I hear of someone �plowing with an H�. :>)
