98 DIN hp just a bit less than 90 ASAE PTO HP. 6-14's was plenty of plow for that tractor. Not sure how I feel about Europe's passion for Pushing a plow ahead of a tractor. Most ground engaging tools "Pull" better than they push.
Neighbor farmed lots of ground, raised lots of hogs, and cattle too. Had two HS age sons. His big tractor was a Farmall 706 gas, between the three operators, Dad and both sons, they could keep it running around the clock. But they shut it down to refuel.
Right after I got home from college one summer, went over to the BTO neighbor to see if he needed help. He was kinda expecting me but not ready for extra help. I hauled manure all day, 400 head of feeder cattle, always manure to haul. Weather report was a weather front to blow thru about dark, rain, maybe up to an inch, but Boss said he'd get a tractor hooked to the plow if I wanted to plow a while. Said I'd be back around 7 PM, Had 4020 gas on 5-14 F-145 plow. Half mile rows, 4th gear, 16 rounds per tank of gas, in 4 hours, so back to yard about 11 PM, maybe a bit later, back plowing around 11:30, sky was clear by then, bright moon to see by, turned light off so I could see off in the distance. About 3:45 AM back at the gas barrel again, Boss comes out to do chores. While we're talking a car pulls in the yard. Was Dad, looking for Me, That was the end of my "All Nighter". Went home, couldn't sleep, went back to work about 8 AM, hauling manure again. Wish he could have got one of the diesels on the plow, 4020 or 4320, could have run 7 hours on a tank of fuel and plowed in 5th gear.
