My nephew and I are putting in some alfalfa at my little farm. He is excited and has the seed ordered to pick up for this weekend. He reserved a no till drill from our county soil and water conservation for this weekend. They bring it out and set it up then retrieve it for $8. acre or minimum of $50.
The guy he talked to said we need a tractor with minimum of 70 HP. This is a 10 foot drill. Neighbor said he pulled it with his 3020 and it was nothing. I have a 460 Farmall that is clean and healthy. It has 15.5 X 38 (40% tread) with fluid, the cast rear centers and a heavy aftermarket 3point hitch. It also has a New Idea loader on it.
My question is, do these things pull that hard? Is the 460 up to the task? My Farmer renter dont think it is enough tractor. He looks at the 460 as a puddle jumper. lol He has offered a 3020 or 4020 whichever is available IF I need it.
I grew up on this 50 acre farm and we had a 13 hoe drill. It pulled very easy and we ran the 77 Oliver in 5th at partial throttle. Is this half again as wide drill that much of an animal to need so much tractor?

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
