On a cub, bouncing around in a field...... that feels pretty fast. In fact it is not. Pulling a moldboard plow with a farm tractor you would run at around 6mph. (Give or take, depending on soil condition and load.) The big tires make the ride better and also seem like your not moving as fast. In those videos, it looks like they are pulling that stuff fast.... when in fact it really wasn't fast at all.

Good point. A farmall H w/ a two bottom genius plow in 2nd gear is a mild walking pace for me at 6'0". Seems faster when you're driving. Depending on the soil type, if you can get it into 3rd, that gets busy quick when you get to the end of the furrow and have to turn and lift the plow at the same time.
