    it will pull it no problem but will it lift it is the problem? are the hydraulics good in it. Have you a full set of weights for up the front?

    No bother pulling 4 sods it's the hydraulics will be tested. Ploughed a lot of acres with a 4 furrow Rev with a 100/90 fiat

    Turning would be a fair issue.
    Got 3f revrs on an 80hp here. Turning is entertaining.
    25hp/furrow is the guide.

    I ploughed many acres with a 3050 back in the day. No problem pulling a 4fr rev but you do need the hi-lift version 3050.
    I think those were the ones with the hook arms.

    3050 only 100hp .... it'd pull it but at a struggle safer to stick with the 3 furrow

    I thought a 3050 was 130 horsepower

    Welcome to boards FC. Level land would be ok, but lifting it when the tractor is hot will be the problem. Is there an assistor ram on the 3050?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Is it turbo? The 3050 out of the box was non-turbo and hence around 95-100hp. The 33/3650's were turbo when new afaik.

    Lots of 3050's got turbos fitted over the years as a lot of the early ones were pulling trailed silage harvesters etc and lads needed the extra grunt.

    You're probably tipping to the 110/115hp mark so (allowing that some of the horses might have escaped over the last 25 ish years). With the correct weights should be ok but as mentioned, the lift/hydraulics will be key.

    I had a 3650 in the past and the lift was well knackered on it so I wouldn't have been trying it. If your machine is in good nick with a good solid lift, your should be ok.

    Are you only doing you own - would a one way plough be an option for occasional usage? I have quite high ground so I opted for a one way plough about 2-3 years ago. Lot less weight to be carrying around and because land is high, a lot of the time I wouldn't be able to plough both directions anyway.

    Don't forget tyres and pressure either.

    New or used? Lynch and McCarthy maybe?
