I would spend a lot of time with the fertilizer/ chemical dealer, extension, and implement dealer exploring the viability of no-till. If it looks like a ten out of ten year proposition then a 100 PTO hp tractor would be sufficient for a six row no-till planter or 15 foot no-till drill. If conventional tillage (or minimum till) is forecasted to bring the most return then you need to figure the likely number of tillage trips. If most years the ground can be gotten ready with one trip in the spring (assuming some preparation was done in the fall) then probably a 100 PTO horsepower tractor with 15 foot implements would be sufficient. If it is like around here you may need three or four trips (not counting being rained out) and I would say you would want to think about 150 to 180 PTO horsepower with 21 foot implements. If the windows to work are small some springs then I would go closer to the 180. Since this an IH board maybe a 1486 w/ MFWD. It would be less than a Magnum or Deere 50 series row crop and should be found for under 18000 most of the time.
