BC: Ah ha, I think you hit part of the problem, "poorly adjusted plows." I had some damn good plow teachers when I young, one was my dad and another was a neighbor who's farm I eventually bought. He was still living on the farm, liked to get out on a tractor at 63. The day my 5x16 semi-mount plow was delivered, 1066 was at his former farm. I knew a new plow would never be adjusted right. I also knew that George who had plowed for 45 years on open tractors wouldn't be able to resist 1066, cab and that plow. I never went near, he phoned me about 3-4 days later asked if I had any diesel. I said, "there is a 100 gal in tank behind barn." He said, "Oh I've got that all burnt, I need another tank full before I move to your home place." He knew I always had a 150 gal. tank my pickup.
I went and fueled him up, he said it took him about 12 hours getting that plow adjusted right. He said the plow felt like he was pulling the Titanic anchor when he started, now the 1066 just plays with it. There was a method in my madness, I knew if I said nothing, I would get the best adjusted plow in North America. We went on to plow with 656 on that same plow, 16.9x38 tires, no chloride, no wheel weights. Pooy adjusted plows are definitely part of the cause. I went to a plow clinic some years later, couldn't believe the percentage of poorly adjusted plows.
