hp to pull a bourgault drill

[massey860]

I farm in Sask, near Wilcox, land is level, no sloughs, no rocks, no trees. It is not the heavy heavy land. Looking at 2 drills. Both are 5710 drills with 5350 tow behind tanks, 10" spacings on drills. About 3" openers. One is 40' and one is 47'. Haven't bought tractor yet either....nothing like leaving it until the last minute! what size tractors would I need to pull these things?

Not sure if you have MRBs, but rule of thumb is about 7-7.5HP/ft without banders and about 7.5-8HP/ft with banders. So you'd be looking around 300-370 HP I would say depending on which size.
