Billy: The 140 pulls the disk much better than I expected. Those are Firestone field and road, 12.4x24, Those give the 140 excellent traction and flotation. I have one set of wheel weights and a good chunk of front end weight in center mount tool bars on my cultivator lift frames plus an out front under axle dry chemical applicator. Probably the two together exert a down force about 200 lbs at the front axle. We have already done about 10 acres of disking, hiking along in 2nd gear. Bear in mind ground speeds are about 10% faster with those large tires. Plowing is the one that is still causing us a bit of grief. For some reason we cant pull 2x12 3 point as easily as 2x12 1 point. I guess I'd have to say probably weather is the biggest grief. We cant get it stopped raining up here thus we are not getting enough plowing days. The part that scares me is maybe those rain days are allowing us too many days to sit in shop and change things. Everyday you get someone come along with a better idea, almost have to chase them off with a stick. Of course I'm right in the middle of some feirce competition plowing guys. they can be vocal. Now I know their originallity rules would never allow a Farmall 140 with a 2x12 3 point hitch plow in competition. Hell, they wont even let me in with 140 and 1 point fast hitch plow, has to be 1958 or older, thus I'd have to use 130.
