I bought a brand new 4230 in the spring of 1977, and bought a new 10 shank pull type chisel plow the next year.
I could not pull it in B1 with the Quad Range transmission, nowhere deep enough to get the entire shovel in the ground.
I complained to the dealer that something must be wrong. They said I should have straight shanks instead of the wider curved shanks that came on it.
Switched them, still could not pull it.
Went back to dealer and complained more, they said not to use A4 or A3 as those were not for hard pulling.
They said the tractor was set up wrong, it had 18.4-38 tires, they said it should have had 34 inch tires, they said I effectively was in a "Higher Gear" all the time.
I reminded them that I had purchased the tractor off their lot, they had ordered it that way, it was not my choice.
Sorry, nothing they could do about it.
I had no liquid in the tires but did have 4 sets of rear weights. I did not have traction problems, just not enough power.
When I sold the chisel plow, it still looked like new.
I realize soil conditions are different, I was in the south tip of Fulton County in Central Illinois.
