Hopefully you are talking a moldboard plow.
I used to have Carlie 23-10-12 Super Lugs tires on my 149. I was having problems breaking pins in the driveshaft when plowing with a 10 inch Brinly moldboard plow. The 149 would hit a hard spot while plowing and break the pin in the driveshaft. I went to Carlie 23-8.50-12 Power Trac tires and haven't broke a pin in the driveshaft since. That has been at least 10 years ago. The wider tire did not sit in the bottom of the furrow like the 8.50 did. The furrow tire was riding on the previous turn soil.
I go to several plow days plus I plow 4-5 gardens a year. I've been plowing with a garden tractor since I was 10. That was 48 years ago.
