I agree, 400 or 450 on a 2x16 plow, all you need controll is depth. I can pull 2x14 with my 130. The question here as far as I am concerned is how to pull 3 x 16 with 300-350 and 4 x16 with 400-450. Believe me I also have plowed many thousands of acres and yes it was just as smooth as you speak of.

My dad and I had 4 different trailer plows starting with a No 8 2x14 on H and a No 60 3x16 used on 300. Later no 60 two 4x16 we used on 560 and 656. We used trailer plows into the 1970s as we could not see any high production plow - tractor arrangements out there that would come close to championship plowing and do it quickly. We were in an area of high wages and that operator had to be fast as well as good.

We switched the plow on 656 to a 5x16 semi-mount with a guage wheel at back. Front end of that plow was completely controlled by 56 series draft controll. It plowed perfect with 16.9 x 38 tires on 656, no wheel weights or no calcium chloride. That tractor had no more chassis in weight than your 400-450. It would also plow 5 acres an hour. Anyone can do good plowing pulling two bottoms with 50 hp, as traction is of no concern.
