Cover more ground and use less fuel????
Ain't gonna happen.
26 foot would be about enough maybe 28 but it won't save you any fuel. The harder you pull the tractor the more fuel it will take.
In most cases the only way to cover more ground per hour in any field operation is to burn more fuel per hour. Either with a bigger tractor or pulling the tractor you have harder.
Now that ain't true if you are way out of wack on sizing your equipment to the tractor. Like say a 12' cultivator on your 5288 verus a 26. But for the most part you do have to burn more fuel to get more acres per hour.
Now if you mean field cultivating verus discing then yes it will save some fuel per acre.
