No, I'm just a guy that has lived in and plowed in more that one place. In my post, I said, "I don't know what kind of soils you have, but around here.....". I grew up pulling 5-16s with an R John Deere which is only 45 horsepower. In fact, the R replaced a D John Deere that pulled 5-14s. Plow speed was and is around 4 mph. Now I'm living in a different area of the country and it's as I said, it takes 100 hp to pull 4-16s and there is some bottom land that will make a 100 hp tractor work to pull 3-16s. We had plow day a couple weeks ago and the biggest plow there was a 4 bottom pulled by an 856 at around 4 mph.
I'm sure where you live it will work as you say, but where I live it won't. Better to pull a little less, do a good job, and take it easy on the old machinery.
