What hp for a 4m Topfown

[Farmerdunk]

We currently use a 3m topdown with a 260hp Massey 7626. It needs all that on some of our ground to be boss of it. Would like a 4m, guessing would need near 300hp?

On heavier land, the nearer or over 300hp the better IMO. depends on depth and points used obviously though.

60+ hp/metre. As above, it depends on soil type, soil condition as well as points and depth required.

I've pulled a 5 metre with 360 hp at 5" deep on 50mm points with no wings. At times it was hardly working in light chalk. In clay it would hardly move. My neighbours pull a 6m one with 260 hp but do it twice to get deeper the second time.

We use 50mm tungsten points and wings. Like to go 5/6" deep. I travel at 10/11k.

Depends what asking it to do, at 3-4 inches deep 200 is fine 10 inches will easily slow 400hp used 4m and 6m on 350hp up to 600hp so too many variables

Would this be simple maths if you think 260hp is right on a 3m by my reckoning you want about 340 on a 4m?
