RDD: Around my neck of the woods, 856 pulled 6x16 plow as I suspect it will most places. A 6x16 plow making 3.5mph will plow the same acerage per hour as a 5x16 plow doing 4.4 mph. Your wear and breakage costs on the 3.5 mph plow will be about 60% of the 4.4 mph plow per acre plowed.

I plowed for years with 656 with 16.9x38 tires, no chloride and model 510 plow, 5x16. Speed does not make money doing tillage. I have a neighbor, pulled a 5x16 trailer plow with a Cockshutt 570, 50 dhp at most.
