[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 928621, member: 9198"] Morning SS. I don't know if this will help or not. I have a seven bottom chisel that I can barely pull with a 45hp tractor. The plow is more like a renovator (or root rake) than a plow. It just has chisel points with a hard surface overlay, not plow sweeps (no matter how small). So if that is any indication then the hp required per point is somewhere around 6 or 7 hp. I am pretty certain that if you were using a real plow point (sweep) the hp requirement will go up. I also have a 14' field plow that started life as an 18'. I could [u]not[/u] pull it with a 145 hp tractor. I cut 4' off of it and the 145 hp tractor pulls it OK but it is a load and occasionally the front of the tractor comes off the ground, even with 1000 lbs of weights hanging off the front end.
