I guess if you only have that much topsoil I can now see where you would analyze the operation of the draft the way you do.
When that “suck” first takes a bite, it does tend to “compress” the tires just a bit. I would imagine this was the level you were at in your plowing, etc. and this is how you read it.
However, “here” after the suck is struck that implement is pulling down so darned hard on the tractor, wheel weights are hardly even needed. Keeping in mind that I use fully mounted plows, can tell you that I have never, ever seen a wheel slip while plowing unless it was from just plain old mud; it’ll bog/kill the tractor first.
Have spent many a year watching that draft physically lift the implement out of the ground. ‘Course like I say, an 8” furrow would be a “skip” to me.
Hooked on to the tumble plow one time with both a 2010JD and also with an H. Think those old plows were what? 2-12s? Anyway, neither tractor would pull the plow past the suck. When the 2-bottom plow hit running depth ('bout 3 feet), it just flat stopped both of those little guys.
Guess that’s why I’m always so skeptical when I hear of someone “plowing with an H”. :>)

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
