| I do not think they pull that bad. I have a 15 foot with dolly wheels in front. If conditions are soft, then front wheels can sink in and that can cause issues if you are not paying attention. I have pulled with a 4440 with 18.4X42s (minimum rear weight) and it pulls fairly well but at times it would "spin out". If I put duals on I do not think I would have a problem. Your 4455 with duals or if it has MFWD would be a good match with a 750 I would think. I have mine behind a 4850, duals, MWFD, and we run 1/2-3/4 throttle a lot of the time.
Mine is an older style but they are pretty good and have a lot of parts availability. We rebuilt our and used Ingersoll blades, flex seed wheel and crumbler wheels to get rid of the terrible back press wheel bearings. We use for beans and put a scale system on to help jumping between varieties. We think about upgrading to a planter more for width (faster planting) then seed placement but really hate to get away from how simple/dependable it is.
My first year I had it I had a problem with my straw chopper on combine (9600/930F). I finished field with soybean stumble windrowed. I wanted to see if drill would go through trash in windrow. I tried it when it was rained on several times and ground was still too wet to actually be planting, but it sliced through the windrow, you could see row slice, and I think I could have notill wheat once ground dried up a bit and not be concerned about planting into windrow. Not sure on the 220b corn especially since it seems more varieties don't drop their leaves as much during dry down, but if using a chopping head, I would think one of these single disk/boot style drills would be one of your best chances.
I do think once we put new blades on it of course cut in easier and pulled easier.
Good luck. | |
