I’ve been keeping my eyes open for a “deal” on a 3PT606NT. I’m in no hurry and doing fine with what I have right now. Recently I came across a nice deal on a 3PT806NT. My question is if I have enough tractor for it. It’s got 3pt lift assist so I assume that would help. I have a new Massey Ferguson 4707 (75 hp) with can, loader, wheel weights and 4,850# 3pt lift capacity. The specs on the drill look to be 4,000-4,500# in weight. I assume that’s unloaded. They recommend an 80 hp tractor. Curious your real world experience here and whether I have enough tractor to lift and pull this drill in normal soils and fairly flat land. If I can pull the 806 it would sure be nice to have the extra planting width to cut down on time. Thoughts?
