Those tires look good & should do, tho the long/short bars are not quite as good as standard tractor tires with a better pitch it turns out - aftter all the advertizing dust settled & real world experience kicked in. :) But, tires look fine, no problems there. Lower air pressure will help. Less weight on the front, a bit more on the rear will help for the disk. Duals will help in wet condion, but frankly in dry ground will decreace lbs per inch & not add a whole lot. A 3pt plow should be adding wieght to the rear wheels, should have no problems there...... If you had a trailer plow on wheels, then it helps to angle the hitch from the plow up to the tractor drawbar - transfers weight from the plow to the rear wheels. Your 3pt plow should naturally be doing this. How deep are you going with the plow? A 14" plow should be going about 7 inches deep. Has this ground been worked lately, is there a plow-pan you are catching. Was it used for a parking lot? My sis bough a place with a 4 acre bean field, could hardly work it up for her after the auction the previous owners had and all the pickups were in for a parking lot.... What size disk blades are on the disk? Some light duty disks are around 14 - 16 inch blades & a tractor hardly notices the thing, while some are breaking disks & have 22 - 24 inch blades heavt frames & weight added and a 150 hp tractor can be loaded with a 10 foot disk.... Difficult soil conditions can be a problem. Very, very, very dry ground can make my tractor stand up on it's hind legs when plowing, & I have a bigger setup with more weight all around. Traction in loose ground with a disk can be 'interesting' depending on a whole lot of conditions - moisture, disk blade size, soil type.... --->Paul

Today's Featured Article -
Tractor Implements and Their Use - by Curtis Von Fange. Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
