Never really thought about it, but I wasn't pulling multiple implements like you are. The 3010 had been overhauled with 3020 sleeves and pistons just previous to me buying it, and dyno'd @ 70 HP. I carried 400 lbs. of old Minneapolis tractor weights on that disc, to give it a little more suck. And I always disced with the lift wheels fully raised, unless I was doing finish type discing. The blades on the disc were at 16" front, and 17" rear when I upgraded in '82, and the blades were on 7.5" spacings. The 3010 in 4th gear pulled that disc at 4.5-5 mph, 50 acres in a 10 hr. day. I upgraded to a IH model 330. Same 14' coverage and 7.5" blade spacing, newer, heavier disc with middle breaker, inboard lift wheels, new 20" Earth Metal blades all around when I bought it. Same 400 lbs. of tractor weights on that disc to this day. Did have to go down to 3rd gear with that disc behind the 3010, especially first time over ditched corn stalk ground, but it would still pull it 4-4.5 mph with the throttle pulled down past the knob stop, and get over 40-45 acres a day. Pulled that same disc behind the 1066 for several years after I bought it in '85. It did a decent job at 6.5-7 mph behind that tractor, and would go over 80 acres in a day at that rate. That tractor would probably pull that disc 10 mph, but ridging kind of wreaks havoc on gravity/flood irrigated crop ground. Went to a 21' model 470 later, and back down to 5-5.5 mph. I think any disc I ever used did it's best work, with minimal ridging, at about that speed. Hardly use a disc any more, but that's been my experience with them.
