This spring it was on a Deere 2440 (65hp) in 3rd and 4th gear. Last year I plowed with a Zetor 7745(75hp) in 4th. 45 is going to be tight, but the 14in bottoms will help. We used to pull an IH 450 3btm with 16" shares with the 2440. Oddly enough that plow wont fit on all our tractors. Some the of the 3pth arms are too short. You also have to pull the drawbar off. The handle sticking up adjusts the cut. Fwd is more aggressive. It will reset easier as you set it back.

I picked up a used MF 2 bottom plow earlier this year, needed a bit of work. It's a 12" bottom, pulling it with a 35 horse 4wd is a piece of cake. You might be on the edge of having enough weight and traction, I doubt HP will be a factor. Mine is a tight fit on the back of the Kubota, same problem Dill had. The front coulter is pretty close, but it has just enough clearance.
My fields haven't been touched in over 20 years, the only sand we have is at the beach, everything else is clay.
I don't know about the price... I paid a lot less than $500 for mine, but I may have got a really good deal too. Not sure how the Kverneland compares with the MF, but I've heard they ARE good plows.
If you have to buy a coulter assembly, factor that into the cost and see if it still makes sense. There are a lot of old plows around here, not many are for sale though.
Make sure you can still get points, most other bits can be fabbed if you have to.

I live in Massena , NY and have just bought 2 of these plows. One needs 3 coulter. Both are 3 bottom auto reset. I talked to a dealer in Canada got a history lession on them. Most parts you canot get, but you can modify new Keverland parts to work. These plows are the Best on the market, but have a high price. Best design, cheap to maintain if you take care of them. Require less HP tractor per number of plows. One is a Hydein other MD. The plan is fix one and sell the other.
