MX5100 HST & 6FT notill drill

[bigbull338]

looking at renting a notill drill to put in some winter pasture.my tractor salesmen is looking into a 6ft 3pt notill drill since he wants me to pull it with the MX5100.will it be to heavy for the tractor to lift.i was thinking of an 8 or 10ft pull type no till drill.i can rent any notill drill i want for $10ac.

There's a Landpride 72" model that specs out at 1038#... maybe that's fairly similar to what you'd be renting? I'd expect your MX would handle that OK, but you'd probably want to keep the FEL on as counterweight.

I am not sure a 5100 would pull a 10', we have a 10' Great Plains and they are heavy and take quite a bit to pull, we used 4WD 70-80 HP; haven't used it in a while.

the dealer is supposed to hook it to the tractor this morning an see what he thinks an then call me.if we rent he wants it on my tractor so ill have todo most of the planting.the loader always stays on the tractor.

the dealer hooked the drill to a tractor speced like mine on the lot,anhe said he put 2 men on the back of the drill an the tractor raised an lowered it just fine.
