Well Ksfarmer, you got a lot of different advice. Personally if just plowing a garden, I would go with two bottoms. Big production is not an issue here. I pulled 3x16 with my 300 in sandy loam, but that is a far cry from heavy clay. In sandy loam I had 13.6 tires loaded to the limit with chloride, plus one set of wheel weights. all that weight is a thing of the past, today you put more pulling rubber on the ground, cut down soil compaction.

Here is how I would equip a 300 today for plowing. Go with 15.5x38 tires and matching rims, get rid of chloride and wheel weights and pull 2x16 plow. We are plowing deeper today than 50 years ago and those 16" bottoms will turn a nice furrow 8" deep.
