How big of a plow can a JD 755 pull?

We pulled 2-14" bottoms for years with an 8N Ford. It might have weighed a bit more, but didn't have 4wd or even a locking differential.

Yah i agree with that but a 8N is alot bigger than 20hp-25hp and weights more than 2K pounds though at 70% split you'd have more weight on rear than the whole smaller tractor weighting in at 1700 or so#. My neighbor and papaw has a 8N and also pulls a 2 bottom plow. A 1 bottom plow with a 20-25hp is it i think around here.

If I am not mistaken an 8N was only 24hp. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks PeterT

I think my 18 hp (pto) mitsu puts more power on the ground than my Dad's 8N did. And there wasn't much difference in the engine's output either.

I was simply using the hp as a measure of tractor size any tractor will pull a plow at a lower gearing vs normal plowing gearing if power became an issue. You all must live on a topsoil farm cause it takes some major kubota juice up here to get thru the hard pans.
