I'm looking for information regarding the addition resulting from the uplifting of a mold board plow, 3-6 moldboards in the 4-8 MPH range. I know this will very by soil type but was wondering where I might find a source of such information.
The ultimate goal is, using a front suspension tractor, adjust each side to level out the balast of each wheel, hence I need to know just how much additional weight I need to carry on the opposing axle. Perhaps I should mention this is for a front plow-rear plow combination.
Without compensation, the tractor sort of rocks between the front and opposing rear wheel. I'm guessing a 40:60 four wheel drive tractor might during plowing have a 30:10 and 40:20 weight / axle ratio and want to by softening the suspension on one side of the front axle, level this ratio off to 20:20 and 30:30. (realize these are theoretical numbers and our 40:60 tractor might be 32:68 and closer to 27:5 and 45:23 then our 40:60 tractor.
Despite the great addition to the balast of our tractor with the front plow, we may further need additional weighted balast!
The ultimate goal is to keep soil compaction to a minimum and minimize fuel consumption!

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
