Just acquired a J D 530. Which plow works best behind this tractor? Haven't bought one yet but looking.

I pulled a 3-14's pull type, F620, pretty easily in all conditions. Very gutty little tractor. Almost would pull as much as our 620.

Well depending on your ground ? but those should be a full 3 bottom plow tractor in most conditions. If it's old and tired or you want to take it a bit easy on it then go with a 2 bottom.

Around here, 2-14s would be a load.

At our local show I used to pull my 2x14 Deere #44 plow with a late model B from which your 530 is descended from. It was a real load in our super-tight gumbo ground and I wouldn't have wanted to plow like this all day. Power and traction (no added ballast) were both limiting factors. With your 10-12 more horsepower and 1000+ more pounds of base-tractor weight you should be able to pull that size of plow easily in any conditions. If you have relatively mellow ground you could handle a 3-14 as some of the others suggested. Deere rated this tractor as a "3 plow" size but that wouldn't have necessarily been achievable in all conditions.

The 810 is the match for the 520. Some people say the three plow, but two is enough. Google the 810.

John Deere 520....18.4 X 30 rear tires:
Plow 2 X 14"

Old Hay Land...2 nd rear 6" deep

Barley ,wheat ,oats stubble...6" deep 3 rd gear:

This plow is max for our soil:

MF FE 35 X Perkins diesel locking Diff. handles plow about the same as JD 520"

An 810A would be the correct mounted plow for your tractor. A 530 will pull 2 or 3 bottom plow depending on your soil. My 520 handles a 3x14 plow in 3rd gear, we have a silt loam soil here.

It is all about soil conditions when it comes to what a specific tractor can pull. I can pull 2 -16" with my 60 in 4th here in So Maine. Hitting a patch of hardpan makes those cylinders bark otherwise no problem.
