Biggest plough for a Massey Ferguson 6715s

[F1 657283]

It’s around 160HP midsized frame. Hilly but light land.

6f reversible surely! Somebody will be along in a minute that had a 4f reversible on a 135.

Seriously I'd just go for a 5f reversible. Depends winter or autumn ploughing, how deep, how many inches your ploughing at. Clearance required. Mounted, semi mounted

What size boots ?

Mine pulls 5 14" ucn faster than is sensible in heavy going. But I think she would lack grip with 6.
It's on 520 38's

Seen a 135 on a 5f dp7 with a claydon furrow cracker.

5f would be best, what’s the point in over working a tractor or letting it just work steady and putting more strain on the clutch packs and transmission.

It’s the back end I’d be more worried about unless it’s a light 5f better off sticking to a 4f

 

[tr250]

It will be fine on 5 furrows. The backend is essentialy a 6480

We had a 4 F and when looking to change we toyed with a 5f but we don't plough that much so speed not that essential. 4F is easier on back end, easier on steep headlands.
Guess it depends on output required, sometimes its better to be "Jack be nimble , Jack be quick"

Depends on the particular plough. I've seen two 4f same manufacturer ploughs next to each other and one was a foot taller than the other. Some plain old things are pretty light, but get a vari-width auto-reset big clearance with discs on and it is pretty serious weight. It's not the power required per furrow for such beasts, but the frame size of the tractor for handling the thing when it isn't in the ground.

Would this suit,

Have a Kv es85 250, 5furrow vari width, full discs on a 6616, it’s heavy but handles it, have to move drop arms into back holes on lift arms for it to lift it though

Round here most ploughs has full discs and skimmers. Why is it that some places doesnt have to use full sets of discs?

I thought they were only for ploughing turf? Only have rear ones here and throw them off as always bung up despite me fiddling with them. Ploughed turf without them anyway.....
