Typically a single bottom sulky Plow would have had 3 head to pull it, walking plows were the only ones that used 2 head as there was less to pull with them. The tractor was geared for about the same speed as a horse walked, there were differences between horses. So the tractorwould be working at the same speed as the team and width would be the same so the only difference would be the amount of time the team had to be rested while the tractor could keep on going. John Deere with the B that was considered the same size as the AC B would have been pulling the same load and Deere advertised the B as doing the work of 4 horses. So figuring 1 horse was rested 1/3 of the time to use the 4 horses it would figure out to the same acreage per plow wether tractor or horse pulled. Typically the sulky plow and the tractor plow wopuld have been a aingle 14" bottom while a walking plow was more than likely a 12" plow and that would acount for some of the difference in a team pulling a walking plow as against 3 head on a sulky plow. As of now it is 5 head on a 2-14" tractor plow. And they are steel wheel clutch lift plows dating to that time.
