How big of a disc can a wd pull? It is getting rebuilt with 1/8th inch over bore pistons, a 45 crank, and a cam ground to 175 specs. It will be a pulling tractor that I want to try on the disc for fun, it has front, mid, and rear weight brackets so slipping hopefully won't be much of an issue. ------------- hi my names dan, I am a young guy. i have a problem, i prefer my tractors orange and my clutches mechanical, thanks for letting me share |

| Condition of the rear tires (lug height), actual tire size (width and diameter), dual wheels or not, total weight of the tractor, drawbar height, disc weight per blade, un-tiled cornstalk ground versus moldboard plowed ground, etc, etc, etc. Yeah, anywhere from 9 ft to 13 ft. |

I have a 10' AC 2200 disk that I know was pulled with a WD45 by its previous owner. |

Uncle Theo told me once that a good WD-45 with duals could pull a SC #215 (15') disc in plowed ground. If Ted said it, it must be so...

Single or tandem disc? I'd think a WD or a 45 would have trouble with a 15 foot tandem with sharp discs and in plowed ground. You'd need duals at the very least. |

 10 ft. worked good for us.

x2. All those variables play into consideration. For example....my 8N would probably pull a 1 bottom in a buddy's field (really sticky gumbo that plows like asphalt), but it will pull a 2 in my soil just a few miles away, and it would handle a 3 well in some of our soil at the ranch. It's a sandy loam that plows very easy. Variables make all the difference.
