Pesotum, IL
Have 11.2hp/ft @ 8-9mph on tracks and can sometimes feel a little low on power. Also have 8.6hp/ft @ 6.5mph on tires and never feels like it’s loaded. Seems like once you get above the 7mph mark each additional mph feels like it takes more power than the one before it.

Edit to add: I think tires vs tracks on a field cultivator are a draw to maybe a slight negative. The traction gained is countered by the power needed for the tracks.
