Too much plow for a 4020 unless you are plowing sand 4 inches deep.

Tom if I had a 4020 that would not handle 5 bot. plows it would go to the junk yard

Eyeballing the picture (which is so accurate!) I am thinking 5x16s. A little big for my area unless the ground is well worked and not compacted. With all the weight on it (and assuming liquid wt too) I can see him pulling 5x 16s in a fair amount of places, may not be WOT in 3rd gear, but it can. Especially if its turned up. My dad has told me about pulling a 6x16 with a 4020 for a while back in the early 70s (and no he didn't just scratch the surface, it was full depth). It was turned up pretty high for a while. We usually ran/run 5x14s on the 100hp tractors fine. I do miss plowing, but dang if it doesn't make a mess out of your field if you doit it year after year.

Looks like those moldboards could use a little more shining up...

The biggest misconception about plowing is that everyone assumes that their soil type is just like everyone elses.

Soil type makes all the difference in the world!

It takes a healthy and very ballasted 4020 to pull 4-16 in my neck of the woods. Most folks used 4-14's.

Some places a 4020 runs with 5-16's but it couldnt budge it other places.
