skyharborcowboy: Lot depends on what your disking and how you use it. I had 22' disk, 10' of wings, 20" blades, basically 12' with the wings up and the 12' could stop my 656 if you let it drop in relatively loose soil. Before that disk, I owned a 12' with 18" blades, and under most plowed conditions it would make my 560 or 656 work damn hard.
Allan is showing you 14' disk, but what is he disking? Grain stubble, gives one ideal traction and the least amount of penetration. Put him on that stubble plowed, and a 656 would be pressed to find traction, unless his $900. disk is worn out and wont cut.
Since coming to YT, I've seen some horrendous claims about how much disk a particular tractor could pull. All I can think, is they're either skimming the surface or the damn disk is worn out and wont cut. I started off my farming days with an 8', 28 blade, 18" blade Oliver behind a Farmall 300, and yes it played with it under some conditions, but I've also seen it take the old 300 right to 2nd gear. I then bought a 12', 44 blade, 18" blade Oliver that did much the same with either 560 or 656 diesels. Then I moved to a 22', 88 blade, 20" blade Bush Hog and by gosh it did much the same with a 1066. In all cases they could play with those disks, but they could also work the blazes out of those tractors. You know what you want to achive, act accordingly.
