Cmore said: (quoted from post at 13:01:29 08/29/12) I may have access to an IH semi mounted 5-16 plow to plow up a small (5 acre) food plot. Will my 706 gasser pull it? I guess I could remove one bottom and make it a 4-16...thanks, Cmore
C'mon guys, read the original post. He only wants to plow 5 acres and in a later post he says it's "loam" normally meaning about 40% sand mixed with other stuff and generally easy to pull a tillage implement through. Yeah, the 5x16" is probably not the ideal plow to pull with that size tractor.
I don't know how they do "wildlife food plots" where you all live, but a friend of mine runs a hunting guide service here in Kansas (and lets not get into a "they ruined my hunting place" discussion) and plants several acres of plots. He runs a disk over them a time or two and drills it, meaning it doesn't need to be tilled 8 or 10" deep, basically just knock the weeds down and scratch the top 2- 3" inches deep. Drop that 5 bottom plow into "loam soil" 5" deep and work 5 acres... why not try it and I bet it will work. Answer the question and not worry about if it will not "pull it all day in our clay".
