On paper a 3020 might seem like it's a match for the 80, but out in the field it is not going to hang with an 80.
Your soil type, amount of rocks, plowed/not plowed will matter a lot. As well as how well ballasted it is and how heavy the disk is. We have an 820 at 11,000 lbs that we used to work pulling 5-16's, I would expect it to handle an average 12 ft disk in almost any conditions.
