A 485 might be a little light for a three bottom plow, what type of soil are you in? I think they are about 50 hp. We pull 4-16" with a 756, and that really works the tractor, but we are in clay. The 4-16" cover 64" of ground, and 3-18" cover 54", which not that much smaller. I have also come across the problem of utility tractors not pulling as well as the farmall's. They just don't have the weight to get the traction. In our area I would look for something bigger for a 3 bottom plow. The harrow shouldn't be a problem. They don't pull too hard.
