What size discs can my 2wd 950 pull?

[jacksdad]

**** all,

Proud new owner of a JD 950 (2wd) and have 3 acres of field that i need to convert to pool table smooth lawn.

It seems the best plan is to disc several times, drag with a chain drag, plant seed and drag again (on smooth side).

My question is what size disc can my 950 pull? This is my first tractor (never even had a riding mower) so i am totally ignorant of what it can really do.

Thanks greatly for the help!

We had a 72" set of discs for our JD 950 2 WD. But you must always remember to lift the discs before making a sharp turn. My father forgot to and ripped off the 3 point hitch arms, LOL.

In case you haven't found it yet. There is a differential lock actuated by a pedal behind your right foot to give you maximum traction. Locking the diff makes both rear wheels pull instead of just one. Release it before you make tight turns so you don't stress the drive train.
Do you have an owner's manual for the 950? If not, I suggest getting one, either from your Deere dealer or by calling 1-800-522-7448 and ordering one. They will need the serial number of the tractor to get the right manual. Since I do most of my repair work, I bought the owner's manual, parts manual, and service manual. The service manual and parts manual are not cheap, but already paid for themselves by allowing me to do some repairs that I may have had to take it in for. Parts manual is expecially helpful as it gives exploded views of nearly everything on the tractor.
You can also get exploded views by going to <font color="blue"> JD Parts Catalog </font> You can order parts thru this site and have them delivered either to your dealer or directly to you.
