I just spoke to Dad about this. He says eight feet would be about right for things like planters and cultivators. Where backing or holding back, like a wagon, a longer tongue is required. Perhaps a long as ten feet.

It has been over forty years since I've seen a working horse drawn implement but I would say eight feet would be minimum. If you have a draft horse available measure him/her from rump to a point in front of the shoulders where the hames would ride and allow a couple feet for the horses back feet to work.

I would think you could use any length plow beam you want as long as it is not too short.

The longer the beam is the easier it is to maintain a constant depth. A longer beam though makes the points of hitch on the forward end of the beam less sensitive to the amount of depth that can be changed by moving the hitch up or down on the hitching eyes or bracket.

I am assuming you are going to use animal power to pull the planter???? If not and you use a tractor then the length would not matter so much since you can adjust the depth or bite of the plow by moving the drawbar up or down.

Then all you have to be able to do is talk nice to the wife who is driving the tractor. They don't work under stress as good as an animal.
