Not a lot of info to go on here! Do You want a cab? Do You want to stay with Massey? Is there a price range? What kind of planter are You going to use?
9 inch disk spacing wont normally leave the ground worked up as well under certain soil conditions so You may need to run a harrow to get a good enough finish for older planters with runners on the planting units instead of disk openers. If you pull a 15 foot harrow behind the disk; then add another 25 HP.
Tractors between 1970 - 1980... 1) Massey 1105 - About 100 PTO, & 85 drawbar HP. 2) Massey 1135 - 120 PTO & 106 DB HP. 3) I-H 966 - 100 PTO & 88 DB HP. 4) I-H 1066 - 125 PTO & 108 DB HP. 5) John Deere 4230 - 100 PTO & 86 DB HP. 6) JD 4430 - 125 PTO & 108 DB HP.
THINK ABOUT THIS!!! In the early 90's I went to a CASE-IH dealer, & bought a new 20 foot disk. The sales person said that my JD 4430 would pull it with no problem. I could not under any condition pull that disk all the way down, & at more than about 5 MPH. Went back to the dealer complaining & he told me that I didnt say I was going to pull it as deep as it would go! I never went back, & dealer is now closed (I wonder why!). That disk weighed 7000#. An IH 780 is a pretty heavy disk, & I am not so sure You can pull it well with 80 DB HP. But I cant say for sure! I learned to have more HP, or get smaller equipment. Once you buy a tractor its to late to go back; UNLESS... its a dealer demo; then you will know! & if it doesnt work the dealer will take it back the same day!
I had engine trouble with my 4430, & the dealer gave me an MF 1135 to use while they RE - rebuilt the engine. The #5 rod spun a bearing about 20 hours after a JD dealer overhaul! The 1135 had 6800 original hours on it; it blew a little black smoke all the time. But it was one of the best tractors I've ever drove. I planted 400 acres with it that year.
