I will give ya the 5x14 but not 5x16's . World of difference about like pulling a set of 540 semi mounts with a 450 diesel yep she would plow all day long in third in corn ground but put it into sod and drop back to second and make lots of black smoke . put that same plow behind a 706 and you would roll sod 8 inches deep in first high but put a 710 4x16 behind the same tractor with the tractor set and the plow set and oh wait a min i need to drop back to 4 low add and extra bottom in 16 and you will be in third with the stick back lugging it to death and IF you have enough weight on it you might keep the ft. end on the ground so you are not looking down the exhaust pipe . Heck why not try 7 bottoms or even eight i know a 706 will pull them ---------down the road in road gear till ya come to a hill. When new they were rated as a 4-5 bottom tractor as even the 806 was rated 5-6 bottom . In the fall of 63 i got lots of seat time on two new 806 diesels pulling 700 series 5x16's and it was 4th low stick ahead plowing 8-10 inches deep. The next spring a 706 D was added and a set of 4x16 behind it . and it was forth low plowing in our ground . Now granted there are areas that the soil is a lot harder to plow and places that it is light . And a lot depends on who's plow your trying to pull as to how hard it will pull. Oliver and International plows seam to pull easier why heck i don't know . so why work the snot out of a tractor just to prove that yea i CAN do this then spend thirty hours working on it because you did . I am lazy i would much rather spend that thirty hour in the seat the wrenchen .So lets see if i pull 5 bottoms and get two years out of the engine but if i drop a bottom and get four or five years out of the engine and it takes me and hour and a half to drop a bottom , i'll drop the bottom. BUT that is just me .
