I don't know what kind of ground you have, but with the kind of vegetation you're talking about, in my ground and climate, that's a job for a moldboard plow. Around here, going into that with a disc, no matter how heavy, is just asking for a mess of clods and a rough field. That said, practices vary widely from one area to another. All that said, with the power you're talking about, I think you would be quite alright with 5 16's, and 6 if need be, provided you had the rubber and the weight. Traction is more likely to be a problem than power. You can always slow down if you've got the traction. I think if you can pick up a workig plow for scrap price, that's the way I'd go. I've done the discing thing, and I'd sooner plow a sod any time. Good job of plowing, and 2 or 3 passes with a disc, and seed the damn thing. Again, dunno where you're at, but that's what I'd do. Rod
