Depends on your soil. I've got a 44 M and I pulled a 3-14 behind it. I'm in SE SD where soil can vary from sandy loam to clay loam, nothing too "heavy". Cruised along in second gear fine plowing in August. I went to another field later that fall after all the usual September rain, and 1st gear sounded nice, and there were places where the tractor would lug down in some wet heavy soil.
I think I have one pair of weights on it...power is going to be the issue before traction with your M.
So the answer is...maybe.
I am sure there will be guys that say otherwise, but that is my experience.
If it was 50 years ago and you needed the biggest plow for your tractor to get your 320 acres plowed in time. Yes maybe. If you want to have at a plow day, a 3-14 would comfortable, a 2 bottom would be very comfortable.
If its a #8 with the add-on third bottom, buy the plow, try it, and turn it into a 2-bottom if its too much.
