No disrespect Hugh but I farmed with 806s back in the day pulling 6x14s & 5x16" plows & in some of my ground there is no way a stock or near stock 806D would pull a 6x16" plow at any reasonable depth. Maybe 4 or 6" but not 10" or deeper like we plowed. In good pulling L-3 was tops & almost every thru you had to pull the TA back in a place or two. A coule fields it was L-2 with the TA pulled back. When we use to plow that ground with a SM & 3x14" # 16 plow it was all the SM wanted in 1st gear. Good plowing was 2nd gear, that was really rolling along.
Good sable loams that when you dropped the plow in the ground it was one continious slab till you pulled the plow out of the ground on the other end.
You have to respect what those old timers did but the plows back then were mostly 10-12" bottoms & they didn't plow vey deep. As a kid we had a neighbor who would use horses to plow with when it was too wet for a tractor. He never plowed over 4" deep using a 2 horse hitch & 2 bottom sulky plow. Using tractor he pulled a 2 bottom Little Genius with an H, about the same depth. I know one year I took the SM over & disced some ground for him in the spring & was turning p what he had plowed under

As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
