Whether your a SM will handle a 3x16" plow depends upon the conditon of the tractor & more so, the soil type you will be plowing along with depth. Back in the day (mid "50s to early "60s) we pulled a 3x14" # 16 plow with our "54 SM. At 10" deep in our Sable & Ipava loams it was all the tractor wanted, usually plowed in 2nd gear but sometimes 1st, don"t ever remember plowing in 3rd with it. Tractor had 4 1/8" Firecraters, M&W governor, dual on the land side, 6 weights on the furrow side & fluid in all three tires.
A couple years ago I bought a 4x16 #60 plow from a a guy that use to pull it with a Stage 1 SM in light, sandy soils. My SMTA with 4/18" M&W Powr dome pistons & M&W governor wouldn"t pull it in our black soils though I"ll add the tractor doesn"t have fluid in the rear tires & only 2 sets of rear weights. Even if it would have had the weight I don"t think the tractor would have had the power to pull the plow at 8-10".
