Farmall 460

Yes no and none of the above! With a four bottem semi mount if you use enough weight,use low gear,proably yes but will it pull fast/strong enough to do a good job??i doubt it! I would like to know for shure myself as i have a 460 diesel Old Stinky.Bud.
 
I come from yellow clay country of northern Indiana. My best reading would be 3016 in that soil 3rd gear direct and TA in the tough spots.
In loam or sandy conditions 4-14 will work. Jim
 
As long as you don't put the plow in the ground. No, seriously, some soil you have to plow ten inches deep, some soils are fine at 4 inches so the pull on a bottom is so variable there is no way to tell. Around here, Minn, three was a hand full for them and the rear ends did not take a liking to it.
 
Depends on your soil type . Years back i had a 460 gasser and pulled a model 540 in 4x14's and we plowed 8-9 inches deep over here in N.E. Ohio in hills . I had 15.5 x38 Firestone all traction field and road's on her No fluid in the tires but six weights on the land side and five on the furrow side and depending on the field 400 to 800 on the nose . Corn ground ya could use third and in sod it was second . It was bought to replace my 450 D plum hated that 460 would not hold a candle to a 450D . Had it two years and was never so glad to see it go .
 
They were rated a 3-4 plow tractor when new. Because there were no (or almost no) 18 or 20" plows around at the time (late '50s/early '60s), that meant a 3x16" or 4x14" plow. It would depend on how hard your soil plows and how deep you plow in your area. Dad pulled a 3x16" pull type IH plow about 7" deep with his, in soil that plowed fairly easy because it had a lot of organic matter worked in. He had one set of weights and no fluid on the rear and I believe it was 4 suitcase weights on front.
 
All depends on your soil type. What can tractors pull in your area compared to their plow rating? If an M can pull 4 there then yes, if an M can only pull a 2 bottom. then no.
 
I did not trade i sold it. Moved up to another junker that i brought back from the dead , a 67 706 gasser that i ran for ten years till there was no more fixing and sold it for a parts tractor for more then i had in it. and since that 706 with out going back into my records i could not off the top of my head tell you just how many 706's i have had . Two of my closest friends have one each that i fixed up.
 
What is the NEED to pull a 4-bottom plow with a 460?

If you've really got that much ground to cover and you need to get it done, you should invest in a larger tractor.

Why run an antique tractor at >100% rated load and risk an expensive engine or drivetrain repair? Just showing off? What's the reason?

Back in the day when lives and livelihoods were on the line, farmers did what it took to "git 'r done." Odds are the tractor sitting in your yard has already seen that kind of abuse. Now you want to flog the tired old draft mule even more?

I just don't get it.

A lot of times it is because that is what you own or could find cheap.
