In many ways the power required by a disc mower/conditioner is directly related to the desired capacity. There's a reason why modern self-propelled windrowers are running 250+ hp engines to push 16-ft headers - the expectation here is to be able to run 16+ mph in normal hay crops and only have to slow down to 8-10 mph in rank forage so tall you can't see over it when driving the machine. In these conditions the header itself can be consuming 150 hp, let alone all the other power requirements on the engine. However, the power required will go down considerably as the performance expectation is lowered. It also depends on how heavily you are wanting to condition the material. If you have the rolls adjusted down close and trying to get the maximum amount of crimp than the power requirement will be higher, especially with thick-stemmed crops like sudex and cane. As long as you're satisfied cutting average hay crops at 7-8 mph than your 100 hp tractor should do fine.
