I have a 1986 L2850. Based on tractordata.com specs, it's ~2500 lbs, 34 engine hp, 23 db hp. I have a single 14" bottom plow that I know the tractor can pull well, esp. w/ 4X4 and ballasted tires. Would like to upgrade to a 2 bottom plow but first wanted to hear from some folks that may have used one behind a tractor this size.

Comments welcome.

The only thing I can say is borrow one take it to the field and sump that bad girl in :eek:, a little bit at a time till she wont pull no more.
In reality that's the only way you will know, but if the ground has been worked over before I doubt if you would have to much of a problem. Just MHO you understand
