Chris, 

According to the manual, the tractor is rated for 3-14s in ideal conditions (sand) and 2-16s in normal conditions. Based on my experiences, Deere (and others probably) seem to over rate their tractors. I've had better luck running a smaller plow than what the tractor is rated for. I've seen many cases when you can plow more acres with a smaller plow because you can go so much faster. I don't like over working the old tractors either. 

I'm getting the cart ahead of the horse, so to speak. I don't have the tractor running yet but I'm researching plows. When I get it running, I may consider 2-16s if it seems to be running good. This is one of the newer A's so it should be a little more powerful than some of the older ones. However, it doesn't have much weight on it and I don't intend to add much either. That would just take more time and money. I have bigger tractors to use if I need to. I like the idea of 14&quot; bottoms on the 16&quot; spacing. Sounds like these plows have lots of nice features. 

Thanks for the info, I've learned a lot. Feel free to add more info if anyone has anything to add.

Please keep me posted if you know of one of these plows for sale.

Thanks,
IFB
