Gary, thanks.
I'm taking in what everybody has had to say, but you've hit my reference/starting point on the head.
I know it was a fine line betweens the As an Bs (113) being one-plow tractors and the Super C (123) being a 2-plow. Yes, my BN has the larger pistons, just because 3-1/8" is what's available anymore, making the motor pretty much the equivalent of the original SuperC.
For all of that, the trannies are obviously different, especially the two biggest gears, the ones with the costly rubber tires on them putting the power to the ground.
What I was hoping to get out of all this (contrary to Mark's little rant below) was what size plow could reasonably be handled by my BN, and honestly have no idea how the slight increase in horsepower on the BN would compare through it's gears to what the Super C (with the common 3-1/4" pistons) could do. As long as I have my Super C, I'd be pulling it behind that, but in life, the BN will be the last tractor I let go, so wanted to size any plow to that.
What I'm hearing is 2-12 is probably about max for the BN in any kind of ground and I'm thinking that a single 14 would be better suited for my long-term intentions. I could turn things up faster, obviously, with the double, but I don't have all that much to turn up in the first place and turning it all faster will only take away from the time I can spend in that heady mix of the scent of fresh-turned earth with tractor exhaust.
Thanks to all. I'll let you know what I wind up with and how it works.
