did I do something dumb??

Wow! $200.00 Bucks! I would love to find a bargain like that. And I wouldn't worry about having too much tractor for it, My little jd4200 mfwd with turf tires will pull my 6' KingKutter till the dirt starts rolling out the top and back. So I would guess that it should be built to haul a full load no matter what tractor is hooked to it. Just use caution like John said about roots and rocks with rippers.
I think you will be fine.

Jeez, I wish I could do something as dumb as picking up a really nice piece of equipment for a quarter of the price.
Sounds to me like you did just fine.

No doubt about it, I've got to visit that part of the country with an empty pickup truck and trailer.
