It does pull hard. we use to run a 16row DMI with a 9330 and had no problem. we had to rent a 9520 last year to pull the. we went ahead and went with the 9630t to pull the deere 16row and we pull a 54' sweep in the summer on our dryland fallow ground.
We strip till on 16 rows and plant with a 1720 CCS 3pt 16 row planter. I've customed strip tilled with 16 and the guy planted 12 row and had no problem. Biggest this is having the TCM calibrated on your receiver and have the correct offsets entered.
It depends on who you ask. Our soils aren't real dark glaciated soils like you see in the corn belt. There are very few farmers around us the no-till their irrigated ground. There's a lot of surface compaction that occurs during harvest and we get very little winter moisture that helps freezing/thawing to loosen up the soil. Strip-tilling allows us to get the fertilizer where we need it and do some slight tillage. We do no-till our dry land ground. We get under 16" of rain/yr.
We have been in the field for 4 days around the 1st of the yr. and 5 days in the beginning of Feb. We usually don't freeze too bad and we get very little winter moisture. Total precip/year here is under 16"
i wish we got that much here at home (eaton, co) i think we only get 13inches on avg but had more than that last year maybe 18 was wet at planting time and early harvest until the gorund froze
how deep you tilling?

How hard does that 16 row pull? I demoed a 12 row last year but couldn't tell for sure if our 9400 or 9420 would be enough to pull a 16 row.

@redneckfarmer I bet the 9400 could pull it.

How big of a planter do you guys plant with? I am curious if it matches up or if you think it is fine to split it.
Thank You.

Thank you! We would like to strip 16 and plant 24. Really I don't think it would be a big deal as long as everything is calibrated as you said.

very interesting stuff, is trip-till better than no-till? Over here in Europe we don't see this at all.
