Yeah. I'll echo what George and Dale said. You aren't going to pull a 3 bottom with your 1812. There are a few guys who made their own two bottom plows, but to repeat what Dale said, they aren't taking a full bite. They are only maybe pulling 16" of plow, and only maybe 5" deep. 6" at most. If you have a single point plow, it's likely a 14" plow. I'm going to say you aren't pulling it 7" deep like it is capable of. If you were, I think you would quickly find your cub at full capacity.

As a note, the 1812 is far under the operating weight of a Farmall Cub, but the 1812 has quite a bit more hp. However with the power loss in the hydro, probably about the same amount going to the wheels. In pulling power, it's probably a close draw depending on ballast.

Glad you like your tractor though!
