There is a vast difference in disks, weight, size of blade, concave, etc. Then there are these guys pulling humungus worn out disks with Farmall M's. These worn out disks are usually about as effective as land roller, thus a good working Super A should pull one.

I had a Bush Hog offset, model 146 if I remember correctly, 24 blade , blades were 26" diameter on close to 10" spacing and frame was solid 4"x 4" steel as opposed to tubing. Farmalls 560D and 656D wouldn't touch it. It took a 100 hp, plus 10,000 lbs. of tractor to pull it. (4 tires pulling were also beneficial.) Go back to the John Deere, compare those specs. Size of blade, concave and weight is what will take the hp.

Only you can judge for yourself from this and what others have told you. By the way, worn out disks have nothing more than scrap value.
