I have a WD-9, runs great,new tires, good original condition. I was just wondering how many bottoms others are pulling? I live in black heavy soil and was wondering if a 5-14"s is too much for the old girl to handle.

Black Smoke: I recently acquired a nice W-9. Asked my brother about what we should hang behind her for next spring's Plow Days. Even though our soil around here is somewhat tough, he told me that she'll do 4-14s all day. Someone with a W-9 visited our Plow Days a couple of years ago and pulled 4-14s. I would think 5-14s might be a bit much for a W-9 in our soil, but in good, light soil and yours being a WD-9 (I know, I know...HP is HP but dang it--the diesels just pull harder!) you might be OK with 5-14s. But why overwork the old gal? I personally would rather cruise along happily with one less bottom than trying to impress Fred by pulling 25% more load using more fuel and spinning tires. Is your WD-9 an early one or a later one? I need to look up the reason why, but the WD-9 was submitted for testing twice at Nebraska--1941 and 1950. The early version turned 46.43 MBHP while the later edition cranked 51.27 (both figures not corrected for sea level). The vintage of your WD-9 may tell you what you can pull. My W-9 is rated at 49.40 MBHP NCSL, and turned in a 50.0 flat four weeks ago on a test prony brake before belt slippage degraded performance. Again, I would look for a nice set of trip 4-bottoms to hang behind her.
