Would a 220-240hp tractor pull a 6.6m Xpress over a range of soils and topography? Not looking to run it any deeper than to chop in cover crops mainly.

👍on stubbles shallow would be fine. We pull a similar machine(6 meters) with 200hp. Second pass over 5 inch deep makes it work, 10 to 11kph on the flat 6kph up a steep hill.

You should be fine. We pull a 6.6m. Xpress with a MF 6499 & MF 7726 as well as a crawler, whist the crawler is better suited - they do fine, we have some "slopes" also.
