Combines plow HP requirments

[Greg]

We used to pull our 6 bottom plow with a 700 Versatile. We think it is rated at about 170-180 hp and our soil is fairly heavy clay so I think in sandy soil, 350 hp should pull a 10 bottom no problem. I may be wrong

Your Versatile should handle 10-18"s pretty well. Ten bottoms are used (too often) around here behind various brands of four wheel drive tractors on some very steep hills without problems.

maybe even more-depending on the make of plow. We've plowed lots with our JD's, grass land, stubble, etc... make sure you have good coulters.
