Where in IL are you? If you have the rock-hard dirt that central and northern Illinois have, you may want to consider the 10" plow. A 682 will have no problem, power wise, pulling a 12" plow, but you will need more weight to do so than you would for a 10" plow. The condition of the plow would be another factor; a plow with a clean, shiny moldboard will pull easier than one with a rusty moldboard. A rusty one will eventually clean up, but it'll take awhile and pull harder until it is clean. If the 12" plow is in good condition and you've got plenty of wheel weights, I'd go for it.
