The 2-bottom plow for a 140 would be 2-12", as I recall.
I think IH said a 340 was a 3-plow tractor, and a 460 a 4-plow (14" bottoms). That was mounted or semi-mounted so the draft of the plow could be used to improve traction.
Realistically you need some pretty nice ground to be able to pull that much plow with those tractors. I know on the home farm there is NO way you could pull 4 bottoms with a 460, and it's actually too much plow for a 560.
