With all the tillage questions...

With all the talk about what horse power, how deep, what soil, what type of tillage, etc I thought I would throw in my 7 cents (inflation!). I had always been told that if you can't pull any piece of tillage equipment right at 5 mph or more than you need a bigger horse. Even in my 2390's operator's manual it says you need to pull at 5 mph or above. I was told the reason has to do with the excessive amount of torque and strain put on specific parts at the lower speeds where the engine won't lug down and the tires won't give. Obviously you could max out a tractor at 3 mph and do so for years without damage since I know many have done so, so don't shoot the messenger. And with 150 horse tractors selling for same of less that 100 horse why not just get one made for the job. Not pointing at anyone in particular either.
