Pulling a 21 ft disc

Posted by Patrick_76 on March 23, 2006 at 12:46:22 from (199.129.224.71):

We came into possesion (read got it CHEAP!) of a 21 ft wide Massey disc a couple of years ago. The biggest tractor that we have is an 856 IH Farmall. With the wings up, I think the disc is about 15 feet wide, but the thing is very heavy. With the wings up, the disc is a load on the 856. We have never run the disc with the wings down. At a bare minimum, how much horsepower do I need to pull a disc that size without blowing up the engine? Will a 4620 or 5020 do it?
