Myself i don't know on that as i have had 3 bottoms thru 7 bottoms and farmed for years with 4 bottom semi mounts with a 706 gasser and now a 806 with the same plow . Myself i think it boils down to just how long ya want to set in the saddle plowing and now today just how much fuel ya want to burn. one year just for shutts and giggles i bought a 1805 Massey bend in the middle 3208 Cat with 3 point hitch with good rubber duals no brakes and dead batterys for not much more then i would have given for a good 806 getting it home from the sale was a nother story as it cost me a grand in trucking because we could not haul it . Fixed the brake with a qt. of break fluid and 4 rebuilt batterys . The next week while at a sale i bought the plow for that tractor a set of 7x18's for 200 bucks second set of onlands i ever used , they took up the whole bottom deck of a 48 foot stepdeck trailer . Use that set up to plow the ground i was farming all 68 acres of it . Had i use my 706 and 4 bottoms i would have spent about a week in the evenings after i was done with work plowing all my massive acres But the Massey did it all in one evening and on less fuel. even though it was way bigger outfit then my little 706 and 4 bottoms were it still only took three passes on the head lands to finish out the field. Now the 3.2 acre field was a bit tight it still did the job just a lot faster.I borrowed a 24 foot disc to use behind the 1805 and here again it took less time and less fuel then my 706 and my 13 and a half foot took as one pass with the big disk with the harrow where the 706 and the 370 would have had to make two to three trips to do the job.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
