A few,,, My 50 H, has problems with power sometimes, it does farily well most of the time, but sometimes I have to do things to set it up so it dont run out of power so quickly. Ive found that running a lower hitch height seems to help give back some power and it takes some of the hook out of the tires, in cases where ground speed is how it gets done, and HP is on the brink of being enough, or not enough, the hitch trick does help. Im not for sure how much work you want to do, but maybe in the future sometime down the road, you may want to find a ring and pinion from an industrial 460, its like the W4-W6 for the H-M but for the 460,,, That can give you the half step your looking for,, speed up all the gears a half step. I do belive that the 16.9s will speed you up close to the half gear your looking for,, and back to 3rd gear,, but, do you want to change that much on your set up? No, Im not much for shifting TA's under power, If you slow the tractor down, you have more rpm, and maybe you can place the weights in a stratigic location to utilize the power to create leverage. I know where there is a 460 utility for parts that has that ring and pinion,, if that could work for you in the future, It had the short tires, and same ground speed as the row crops, it just mite put you in the gear you want, and give you the half gear in 3rd and keep it inthe stronger gear.
