I was just wondering if anyone was pulling a D17 Diesel that is stock and if they were having any luck. I have one but I didnt know if it would do any good. Also, would a D17 pull a five bottom plow?

If you pull in a pure stock class and make the tractor as light as possible pulling under I think the 6500# class you can do pretty good. As far as a five bottom plow no way. Too much plow. If a five bottom is all you have or it"s a good deal just drop off the extra bottoms. In hard ground like a clay mix three bottoms is max. Sandy or loose dirt it might pull four bottoms properly weighted of course.

Thanks, we have a gas d17 and a diesel that i am rebuilding and my grandfathers first tractor was a d17 but not many people had diesels around here. There was one guy on the road that I live on that had a d17 gas and i was told he pulled 5 bottoms but maybe they were 14 inch.

The 14 inch makes sense. When my dad and I still farmed we pulled 3-16's. He had a D-17 series IV diesel and I had a series III diesel. He had the pump turned up on his and would fly by me when we plowed. His tractor had no problem pulling a four bottom.

Yeah, there were only about 6 D17s in the county i live in. There was my grandfathers,a 1957 gas with wide front,the guy up the road that had a gas with wide front but i think his was a series 2 or 3, one on the other side of the highway, a d17 diesel with a narrow front, the 1958 diesel that i just bought,a d17 gas series 3 still in use, and a black guy owns the other and i think that is a gas. Then my grandmother's cousin had a 1959 d17 black bar gas narrow front and we got that out of gloucester,virginia. Most of these around here puled 4-14s besides the 5-14s. My grandfather sold or traded his in on a 1965 Case 930 that will whup just about any tractor in the 9000-12000 puling classes ands its stock all the way.
