Jd5085...20' tandem disc. Only turning up about the top 4" of pretty light soil ,well worked in the previous years.
Seems I can get about 4 mph in b2 at 2100
With practically no lug.
Or b3 at about 1600 rpm will go up 2-3 hundred when plow is raised. .....
My question which is easier on the tractor.
Got alot of ground to cover(for me) rain coming can't really change things right now. But don't want to gut the tractor.
