We have tiger stripe clay loam soil here in northeast Missouri. The problem I have is getting the power to the ground,so I stick with a 2/16 plow and run in 3rd and 4th gear. I pulled a 16 foot disk set deep with the wheels lifted last fall covering up broadcast wheat and only had trouble in one wet spot.

I farm 80 acres of mixed hay and rowcrops and I farm on shares with the neighbor on another 80acres,same soil. I didn't sat it would not pull 3 or 4 plows,I just said it would work it hard and I would stay with a 2 bottom setup. I was out this spring with a one bottom moldboard plow behind the 560 gasser cutting some drains in crop fields,kind of looked funny on there.
