Looking to buy a disc to work on some food plots on some hunting land I purchased. Found a guy selling a Krause 10 foot disk harrow. Did you see any problems pulling though sandy soil
 
It'll pull it, but if the disc has good blades it'll have your M's tongue hanging out in some soil conditions.

IIRC the Krause is a heavy duty disc. That will be a hard pull, but doable.

I know I will get flames, but my buddies dad was pulling a 12' JD with a drag when a SM was still a tillage tractor. Some guys on here say it won't pull anything but an 8' disc. We were just talking about it on Tuesday because I saw a 10' adjustable JD for sale. Stopped thinking about it when the price was $800 without a cyl and bad tires.
 
My Farmall M, which is set up to run on kerosene pulls a 10 foot Disc Harrow Set (40 discs) without hassle if not in a hurry. If you expect to run in second or third gear in heavy soil, the tractor and machine will be put under un-neccesary stress. First gear = no worries, even in the very hard soil here. We plough with a GL-70 Disc Plough, which is almost identical to a McCormick-Deering Number 34 Tractor Disc Plow. It is fitted with five 28" discs and the Farmall M handles it just fine, once again in first gear. All a question of how fast do you want to operate. I don't worry about working quickly. We have been using the same plough, harrows and tractor for over sixty years and they all still work. The photograph shows our two Farmall M tractors working, one with the 5 disc plough and the other with the 40 disc (10 ft) harrows.
