If you are in heavy soil, 6 will be a load. But an 1850 2wd with the tires loaded is a 12,000-13,000 pound tractor. We had a gentleman who was using 5x16's in heavy loam with a 1650 2wd in 2nd gear on level ground at a normal 8-10 inch depth. We pulled 5x16's in light soil with a 1650 4wd as a matter of course in 3rd gear. If you don't have a lot of steep hills and have the tractor weighed properly, an 1850 should do alright. 1850's were rated as a 5-6 plow tractor, by the way. If you are going to plow 10-12 inches deep in heavy soil you will need wheel weights. Also keep in mind that a JD plow has a bit heavier draft than an Oliver plow. I'm assuming we are talking 2wd. If you have a 4wd, you will have plenty of traction to pull a 6 bottom. I am also assuming you have 18.4x34 or 18.4x38 rear tires and the tires properly loaed. If you are running 16.9x34 and/or no fluid in the tires, then I doubt if the tractor will do very well. Make sure the plow is adjusted properly, too. The difference in draft on a properly adjusted plow and an improperly adjusted one is huge.
I'd be very interested to hear back how the tractor actually does handle the plow in your conditions. And give us specifics on how the tractor is weighted, tire size, gear used, etc.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
