Farmall 806 hitch capacity and JD 750 drill?

OK,I asked this on the IH board, thought I'd ask here, too. So I'm wondering just what my Farmall 806 will lift. Here's the details: mine is a fast hitch tractor, I have the 3 point adapter arms. I rebuilt alot of stuff last year, and the Hydraulics now have the 2500 psi relief valve, 15gpm pump, and I wound up with a 1086 lift cylinder because my original was scored too bad. I think 1086's had a higher setting on the lift cylinder relief valve than the 806 originally had? So on to the next part of my question. My FIL and I are looking at machinery together, and one of the potential buys is a 15' JD 750 2pt. hitch drill. Now, I remember pulling one of these drills with a JD 4430 for my best friend's grandpa and it was no problem, but a 20' 1560 maxes out a 4430. I want to know if the 806 will handle a 15'. I know you have to buy a kit to make the drill work on an open center tractor, hopefully it is still available? I'm sure I could pull a dolly wheel drill no problem, but I don't like the Idea of a dolly drill for lots of reasons unless I HAVE to get one due to tractor capacity. Thoughts? Experiences? Thanks! -Andy
 
It's been a while, but if I remember right, a fully loaded 1560 15 footer would make the front end of a deere 4640 light with a full rack of weights. Wasn't close to being unsafe, but was noticeable. Was going to rent that exact drill and pull it with my 4320 and the owner and I kind of decided it may be too much. I rent another neighbors with a dolly wheel and it handles it fine. If the price is right, get it and see? Maybe a guy could come up with a dolly wheel kit if need be? Don't know how hard a used one would be to find. Maybe deere still sells them new?
 
I have a 15' 1590 and I pull it with a CaseIH Maxxum 5230 MFWD, no problem. Duals would be a nice addition. I would not have a drill with the dollies on the front. I want the weight on the tractor.
