How many acres do you need to plow and what does your tractor weigh? You might be on the very low end of PTO HP range to pull 3 bottoms, but does it have enough weight and drawbar HP?
If you have to add an extra 50% in weight to the tractor to pull three bottoms, you might get more done in a day pulling two bottoms faster. Try to plow at 5MPH or faster rather than straining the guts out of your tractor at an actual 3.5 MPH loosing 10+ percent of your ground speed to wheel slip. That also gives you a better chance to plow tough dry sod if you need to, or to pull a two times width spike tooth harrow behind the plow in the spring.
Used plows often have worn cutting edges and rusty moldbords that can pull harder than a plow in top condition. Can you borrow a plow to test what works best for you, or try a plow before you buy it? I'd try 2x16 or 2x14 to start.
