It sounds like you are running out of traction, not hp?
Traction can be improved with weight on the rear, and or duals.
New ag bar tires can make a world of difference too, do you have ag tires on it and are they in good condition or worn down from road travel or long time field use. Radical tires are Uber expensive but they do offer more traction, if you have bias ply tires on now.
Front weight doesnt help traction too much unless its front wheel assist. Sure it balances the tractor weight some but its not a big factor on a 2wd tractor.
Fluid is the classic way to add weight, if you can find the right cast wheel weights to bolt on of course weight is weight either way or both until you get to the weight they recommend.
Old tractors were rated on pto horsepower that came from the Nebraska test. New tractors suddenly are rated on engine hp which is often about 20% more. Us old guys always talk about pto ho when we talk about a tractors rating. Be sure you are in the right category. I guess Im not familiar with your tractor number or age, so Im not sure what you have there.
An 80 pto hp tractor should pull those items tho you are on the lower side. You should have enough hp to make things go.
Disks are funny creatures, in fall on solid ground you can putter along in cornstalks in a high gear at half throttle, pulls easy. In spring in wet or worked fresh ground you can stall out the same tractor in a low gear, so with the disk it kinda depends what you are trying to do, it might be an easy load and it might be a hard pull depending on the season.
You need to look at the traction. Tire wear, weight, and duals, probably in that order.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
