Just for comparison/consideration I pull a single bottom 16" behind my L3560 without a problem .... and that's through a relatively heavy loam/clay (ground is likely less than 2% grade).
Having R4s on my tractor (with full set of wheel weights) I usually have more problems being traction limited than I do with being power limited ...even when operating in medium range on the HST transmission.
As I like to say; when it comes to draft implements all the horsepower in the world doesn't matter if you can't get it to the ground ..... which is where machine weight and soil composition come into play.
