If this man is buying a new 60 horse tractor...2-16"s will be plenty, 3-14"s on a perfect day.
I bought a new John Damned 4WD, advertised as 55 pto horse (5320) and my 3-14" Ford 101 plow made it's tongue hang out. I eventually had the pump turned up..dynoing 82 pto horses now....and just barely an adequate 3 plow tractor. Oh sure.....I should have went and traded it back in and ate $8,000 depreciation and bought a REAL tractor...no thanks. John Damned should have put some weight and innards in these new gutless wonders they build. But in all fairness.....all the new junk is made that way. No iron in the a$$ and they turbo a small cubic inch engine way up for Horsepower...but there is no torque to go with it.
That last good utility JD made was the 55 series ie., 2355. That is essentially what you get in a 6000 series now...along with a $50,000 price tag.
I've been around several D17 Allis'.....a fine tractor in it's day...but I have yet to see one that could handle 4 plows around here. I do have a neighbor with a D19 that would handle 4 plows and even at that....the black smoke rolled out the stack. The first 5 plow tractor I ever seen around here, was circa 1964-65. It was an 806, dualed on the land side and knowing the owners....I suspect the injector pump was dialed in for the Moon.
