You can probably go up to 30 foot disk and field cultivator if you want to work the tractor hard. I used to pull a 30 foot white 272 disk (extremely heavy disk) with a 2-155 white. It was ballasted with two saddle tanks and a rear three point sprayer tank for incorporating spray. That tractor ran very good and had ample power to get the job done. It never ran out of lugging power on that disk. We also used a 4-180 white on that disk which seemed to have about the same overall pulling horsepower as the 2-155 but would pull the equipment through much nastier conditions. If you had a wet spot it was not an issue as much as the 2wd 2-155 which would get stuck lots easier if it was a wet field. We also pulled 30 foot john deere field cultivator with the 4-180 all day with no problems, up hills and through wet spots on occasion. 4-210 was aquired later and seemed about the same pulling power as the 4-180 but was more refined for creature comforts. Old 4-180 was dirty and clunky and old but seemed as reliable as can be most of the time. I would also use a glenco 11 tooth soil saver in the fall with no problems. If these old brutes can do it you should be able to handle 30 foot equipment and 11 tooth chistle plows. But if you already have 24 foot stuff I would not replace what you have unless it needs to be changed. Good luck.

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
