It's been a few years and I really don't remember. I did plow with a 3x16" F-H plow, but not very much. We had about 50 acres of irrigated corn for the trench silo and that's all we used the F-H plow for. I think I only plowed one day with the mounted plow. Mostly we baled alfalfa with it and an IH baler. We had 400 acres of alfalfa on the ranch and we baled almost every afternoon, with the 450 on the baler and a 350D loading and unloading bales on a big bale trailer (I think either 240 or 248 bales). There was a Farmhand accumulator on the baler and the bale pickup on the 350D loader. We would swath with a Cockshut swather in the mornings and bale in the afternoons.
I also pulled a 5x14" pull type plow a few days on spring wheat stubble and we pulled a 1 row IH chopper with the 450 filling the silo... I don't remember if I ever drove it while chopping corn, mostly I drove an old army 6X hauling the silage.
That 450 was the workhorse tractor on the ranch at that time... the 350D was used maybe 1/4 as many hours, but I drove it a lot handling bales. I don't recall the 450 ever causing a problem. We just changed oil, gassed it up (it did use a lot of gas) and worked the heck out of it.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
