I know the answer but the other night I was reading an article in one of my old Antique Power magazines I just got. Article was about a 1935 Oliver 70. The farmer had been using a JD D with a three bottom 14" plow and thought it was time to upgrade. So he invited the local Case, IH, JD, and Oliver dealers to bring a tractor out for a demo. Oliver brought a 70 and IH brought a F-20. Didn't say what the other two brought but I assume they were similar hp tractors. The farmer made each salesman drain the fuel tank and then add one gallon of gas to see how far each tractor would pull that 3 bottom plow before running out of fuel. To summarize the F-20 was clumsy, the Case and JD ran out of fuel way before the Oliver. The article goes on to state the 70 pulled the 3 bottom as easy or better then the D. So is there farmland out there that can transform a tractor rated for 2 bottoms into a 3 bottom tractor without using 1st gear. I'm sure somewhere there is but still. Also I owned a 70 for a short time and currently own several JD Ds. I just can't see a 70 hanging with a D. I think in some other issue of Antique Power somebody was claiming Ford 8ns could out work a farmall M and JD G.
