The biggest Masseys I ever saw in regular use were a pair of 1200's belonging to the Stratfield Saye estate around 1981/2.
As for ploughing in snow, well, I just don't know. I've done a few matches where it's been snowing so hard it's difficult to see where the previous furrow was, and judging all but impossible, but that was with a cabless 35X! Not recommended.

There were a few big 4000 series MFs following on from a few 1505s mainly on the larger eastern region arable farms.
