A 300-hp Ag Wagon works just fine at 9,500' density altitude.Â* Quite
comfortable for the tow pilot, too!

Our situation here in Florida is quiet different because of our MSL. I have a Pawnee with 180 hp. It does very well for the most part. I also have a 235 Pawnee that is certainly more powerful, but After all is said I would rather have the 180 Pawnee for my personal use. We call it the Yellow Gorilla, and it has done a great job for our club.
