    Holland,  Indiana (SW IN) | Have been reading many times on AgTalk about pulling a tile plow or direct hitch scraper with a Front wheel assist or even Artic   
  
I've had experience with multiple over  load and ----rear end Scrapping OUT gets expensive   
Heck tore up a 1566 IH just from weighting and adding Michelin radial tires 50 years ago (radial's didn't slip much)---250 hp+ didn't help much  
  
So you hook  either PT or mounted tile plow on a tractor or a direct hitch scraper   
  
First thing bump up air in the read tires --had a 9370 gear drive we pulled a Leighbrecht PT tile plow best I remember 20.8 X42 duals on the rear   
45 PSI rear tires would still squat the tires almost to rim --in a hard pull with a couple help tractors and track hoe helping   
  
Hook a tractor up tight go 1.1 MPH low gear --no slip I don't care if you are 1/3 THROTTLE you are asking for an expensive repair   
  
Just saying on a Sunday Morning know what you are getting into ----works for a bit THEN gets expensive   
I've seen 4 front wheel assist on Gold digger plows busted rear housing (I don't think the PT plows are much better)   
I know of at least 3 other tractors rear bearing or trans after tile plow   
  
Just saying Really hard on a tractor to lock it down tight with almost no slip
