It depends on the ground. In real easy plowing soils, you should be able to walk right along with a 6-16. I know that Dad's 856 had a tough time with a 5-16 in his ground when he used it to finish up plowing one year. It was slow going with a lot of spinning and working the levers. That had near-new 18.4x38 tires, full fluid, and one set of iron weights at the time.
Ya gotta wonder how the pioneers did it. I imagine that they didn't cover much ground in a day. There were probably days when they barely cut one furrow, if that. I imagine they didn't plow very deep the first time over, either...
A 6-16 plow can easily be reduced to 5-16, so if the plow is a good deal I would not hesitate to buy it because it has too many bottoms. Try pulling it, and if it's too much, remove the rear bottom and move the trailing wheel up.
