Size of bottom depends on how deep you are wanting to plow.I prefered a 12 bottom and plowed only 6 deep in my clay soil. 12inch designed to work at 6 inches deep, 14 inch at 7 inches deep ans 16 inch at 8 inches deep. A 12 inch bottom would equal a slab of 72 square inches being turned, a 14 inch would equal a slab of 98 inches and a 16 inch would equal the slab of 128 in or 30 inches more dirt turned over with each furrow so the larger the bottom the harder it should pull. A 3-14 has a slab of 294 inches of dirt being turned while a 2-16 would have a slab of dirt of 256 inches being turned over so the 2-16 should pull easier than a 3-14 but then as you go deeper the ground gets harder so that would equal the pull out so both should pull about equal. What would make a big difference is the angle of the moldboard as the longer the angle the easier it would pull as doesn't take as much force to turn slab over. In my ground I thought a 14 in turned over too much of the clay subsoil. I started plowing back in either 1955 or 1956.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
