No idea from limited info. In my area a 100 hp will pull a lite 20’ in most conditions. But a heavier disc needs duals, FWA +150 hp, weights to put it deep. If hills more.
So hp alone is not always enough. I will say I would rather be 2’ narrower than what I could pull. Then 2’ too wide where I can not pull it at depth, speed I think best.
Unlike cultivators. Where I often buy +2’ wider then I maybe should. As it’s Easy to remove one unit each side. Or add it if I get a bigger tractor. Plus spare parts on hand. I have two that are too big for my two main tractors. But 3’ off one it works fine for non dual, FWA tractor. If my larger one breaks. I could add them in 2 hours. It woukd still be undersized. But not by much.
