Ok I know this is a hard question to answer because you dont know specifications, but how big of a disc, chisel plow, and a field cultivator could I pull with a Case 4890. My case 4890 is rated at 300 engine hp, 220 Drawbar hp, and 253 PTO hp. I have a good idea but i dont know what ya'll would think. Thanks for the help.

How big can it pull or how big should it pull? If you were trying to win a bet it would probably pull a 40 foot field cultivator and a 15 shank chisel plow. If I wanted to use it in a variety of conditions I would lower those sizes considerably. I would go with about a 12 shank disk chisel and a 30 ft. field cultivator and a 32. ft disk. I wouldn't use over a 7-18 onland plow either. It is better to work the tractor less and have it live than to look cool trying to pull big equipment and kill it before its time. I plowed disked and field cultivated with a 2870 and a 4890 many hours with those sized implements and the tractor had all it needed behind it. Could they have pulled more. Defenitely, most of the time if the conditions allowed it. I have had the 2870 and the 4890 stopped in their tracks many times spinning out with a 7-18 IH onland plow and actually stopped in their tracks pulling a 11 shank brillion soil saver. They are big, but not unstoppable by any means. Nice rigs though if they are running right. Very enjoyable tractors to operate. Good luck.

Back in the late eighties the guys I worked for had a 4890. We pulled a 42ft. Krause field cultivatior and an 11 shank ripper. Never had a disc big enough to work it hard. Best as I remember we plowed with a 9 bottom White on land. Really loved that ole girl. She got traded on the 8000 JD's when they came out.

My Versatile 895 was rated at 315HP.

I pulled a 46 ft Krause tandem disc and a 54 ft Versatile sweep (stubble mulch) plow over a lot of acres. Both implements fit the tractor very well for Oklahoma Panhandle conditions (think West Texas plains or Eastern Colorado flatland).

I also modified an 11 shank Bix Ox deep ripper to be drag type instead of riding on a three point.

I called it my "Okie DMI". I could drag the disc idling, but that ripper could easily sink in deep enough to kill the tractor.
