My '48 John Deere GW pulls 3-14's plowing all kinds of soil at 8-9 inches depth just fine. This tractor weighs 6300 lbs with me on it, has 14.9-38 Firestones on the rear wheels and is pretty much stock but in real good shape. This tractor was rated a full 3 plow tractor with a little over 34 drawbar and 39 belt horsepower in the Nebraska Tests in 1947. Our Farmall M pulls 3-14's too but doesn't have quite the reserve pulling power the GW has, it has 13.6-38 Titans and weighs about 5800. M's were rated about the same a JD G's. Our '47 MM UTU pulls 3-14's real easily too as does my "warmed up" John Deere '51 G. I know there are some soils in some areas where regular 3 plow tractors struggle with 3 bottoms....there also areas where good 3 plow tractors can pull 4 bottoms okay....concrete plows harder than sugar.
