However if you ever no tilled a field ( I'm sure you have) and was coming behind a wheat crop with soybeans a tractor can have a hard time just pulling it's own weight in the 40-75 hp range with duals on.
We don't plant beans behind wheat because there is too great of a risk of frost.
We have calcium in the rear tires that stayed on year round and at least 3 sets of wheel weights on the rear tires. The rear tires of choice are Firestone 23 degree angle.

The soil condiations vary from area to area. My area you MUST run duals and weights to make any tractor doing tillage work the most efficent.

Bringing this back to the orginal subject....
A dual on my Cub for plowing works great. The ride and not breaking parts is what sold me on the dual set up.

You are welcome to try my setup at any plow day I attend.
