[QUOTE="yellow belly, post: 8020241, member: 305"] i pull a gd caddy and weight transfer when the hopper is full and the drill down helps when drilling deep with beans up hill but this squabs the tyres and deepens the coulters we do have to be carefull not to drill too shallow when the hopper has less than a tonne in it i have filled the caddy wheels with water and added weight to the caddy to get enough coulter weight on a 54 row 9 m drill a 6 m drill has enough weight the newer mid mounted coulters would be a much easier drill to controll if you need to you could add some weight to the tractor for traction imho a 6m drill could be pulled on the flat with a 200hp tractor i currently pull 9 m with a t7260 that uses 50% power on the flat and up to 80% on hills with a full tank i have learnt that if traction is a problem it is usually not dry enough resulting in reduced yield patience is the key as with all farming [/QUOTE]
