Last fall I plowed an acre for sunflowers using a 3-14 behind a Ford 3000. First try was when it hadn't rained in several weeks and it was a no-go in our black clay. Power wasn't the issue, traction was the problem, no wheel weights or loaded tires and the 3000 has a loader.
Waited till we had a good rain, when it was dry enough to not sink but still a little soft the 3000 pulled it without any trouble. Am sure if I would have filled the tires or added wheel weights the 3000 would have handled the 3 bottom even when it was a bit dry.
Just finished taking one bottom off and turning it into a 2-14. Will be pulling it with my 3600, no loader. I would load the tires but already have issues with the tractors making ruts doing other tasks when the ground is a little soft, loaded tires would just make deeper ruts.
Of course the answer is wheel weights but around here anything I have seen for sale must be made out of gold.
