There are many factors on what a tractor will pull, from the ground, moisture,sod, tire condition, ballast/weights tractor tune and what shape the plow is in and how well it's set up to work with the tractor. We pulled 3-14's with our Super M in ground ranging from a sandy loam to a heavy loam. I remember one August and I was trying to turn down wheat stubble and get ready for wheat again. It was hotter than usual for central Michigan- the upper 90's and it had been dry. It was not having a good time pulling the 3- 14's. I was wondering if I should go get the 2-16's we had for our John Deere A. Dad mentioned to me that if I was going to work his tractor that hard maybe I should change the oil before heading back out, I can't remember if he told me to or I did it by myself but I changed the oil and filter and used straight 40 weight oil. Same conditions but the tractor temperature dropped about 40 degrees and she handled the plow much better. Didn't plow to much before I wore out a set of plow points but the tractor didn't seem to be running any hotter or heavier than when we baled the straw.
