As to be expected the HP required is directly related to the aggressive setting of the harrow. A summers 70’ harrow with 9/16 harrows set most aggressively, hydraulic in lowered position and harrows set so they almost standing vertically will be a struggle for 360 hp MFD and should be a 4wd.

Spring tillage with it like others have mentioned can be tricky depending on residue, moisture and sunshine. It’s great tool in many circumstances and a potential moisture conservation because it’s not working as deep as a cultivator but I’d question how well it would work in corn residue year over year.
