I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but a two wheel drive Mahindra 6530 with a 152 cu in engine and 16.9x28 rubber is not going to pull a semi-mount 4x16 plow in heavy soils at 8-10inch depth at any respectable speed, if at all. A 3 cylinder 152 just doesn't have the torque necessary and may not be engine enough to pull 3x16s, unless it's in sandy loam/stubble ground. In addition, the 6530 is a utility class tractor and doesn't measure up to a typical "tillage" tractor class. Those old heavy engined tractors of yesteryear have deep torque reserves and usually at surprisingly low RPMs. I use a few utility class tractors around my farm... but rely on old heavy iron to pull the chisel and once in awhile semi-mount moldboard. Use the proper tool for the job!
