Subject: Re: Horsepower to pull 16-31 planter



Triplett / Brunswick MO / Brookfield
I pull a 3600 16/31 with a 180 HP MFD tractor; I very seldom run with the throttle full open; most of the time I don't have the front end enguaged. In corn I gear up and throttle back to 1,3xx RPM (5.4-5.7 MPH) in fairly flat ground, and run a gear lower and a few RPM's more in my hill ground. With all the boxes full of beans, I very seldom run full throttle (7 MPH).
