The size of disk you can pull greatly depends on a few factors. Those factors include: Soil type and condition, moisture content, compaction, depth, design of disks, incline of the ground, and tractor setup. Now that I've got your head spinning, I would say if you're disking into stubble on flat or semi-flat ground using a regular disk you could probably get away with a 14 ft. disk depending on setup. The next thing to take into consideration is how hard you want to work the tractor. If you dont want to work it as hard, go with a smaller disk. I have pulled an 18 ft. disk with a MM 602 LPG on some hills but it worked the tractor pretty good too. Another thing to consider would be if you're going to be able to get traction if you need to hit it again. A field that has already been worked will make things pull a lot harder than one that has been worked the previous fall or earlier in the year. Hope this helps.
