Sunnyside, WA | I would go 3000 to 3500 with that size tractor. Flotation tires will make a difference in the field, but on the road you will be shifting down if you hit any kind of hill. Pulled a 4000 gallon with a 160 hp 2wd and duals (Case 2390) most of the time and it was ok except in our largest hills. Hauling manure takes a long time if you don't have enough hp. Also pulled with a CIH 7120 MFWD, no duals. Transmission was nicer, but never liked being on our hills without duals. Duals make a big difference.
We pull a 5000 gallon vacuum tank now that is built heavy. Pull it behind 200-250 hp. Need to be able to stop it going down the road.
