Looking at number 10 ripper can I pull it with 120 hp.

Depends on how deep you need to go. I'm pulling a 3 shank just like that one buried to the frame with a case 2090/ 120 hp. Never tried putting the other 2 shanks on.
 
We sold Howard V-rippers in the later 60's and 70's , our demo model was a 7 shank model with the short shanks as here we go 10-14" Max depth and less if in real rocky areas. we pulled it with a 1030 easy so we added two shanks, then in 76 we bought a new 1370 and I added two more extensions and shanks on each side to make it 13 shanks, I liked to run 6 mph as it really shattered the sub ground and let it take water when dry but it got to where I could not afford the teeth as I was using a set sometimes two a day depending on soil type when they got to 12 bucks a tooth so like a dummy I sold it, I am looking for another one and like a fool I let one go at a sale a couple years back, oh well I will find one or get a newer style soil conservation tool or what ever they call them these days with trip shanks, I would say depending on how deep you want to go will tell if you can pull it like you want lol

We also sold Howard Rotovators, and Deep V chisels as a tillage system. Recommended only using the deep V about every third year, with crop rotation on fields. Most of the deep V's we sold were 3-5 shank. We sold a 13 shank and a Howard M130 Rotovator with a new First year production 1370. The outside shanks would catch a rock and rather than shearing the shear bolt on the shank the tractor would pull a bit sideways and twist the shank. We had to drop the two outside shanks to keep the thing operable.
The narrower Deep V's like pictured didn't twist the shanks like the wider ones did
We dropped the Howard Deep V's and moved on to Brillion spring reset deep tillage tools.
That unit will help you conserve moisture and allow deeper root penetration if used properly.

TF, we have to import rocks into our fields around here. Could probably pull all 5 but some of this ground has not been ripped in at least 40 years.
 
Like others said, depends on how deep... and your soil. I pulled a similar one (also 5 shank) behind a 9600 Ford that dynoed 140 at the pto. Worked it pretty hard... but it would run out of traction before power.
 
Soil type and tractor configuration are variables that will determine the answer. I pulled a 5 shank Brillion similar to that in gravelly loam/glacial till with a 4240. I have no doubt that gumbo or tight clay would have made the combination impossible to use.
 
The field I want to use it on only needs about 14 inches deep as there is rocks just like you have the size of the tractor or bigger
 
I was always told it takes about 45-50 hp per tooth. I know my shingle tooth makes 40hp work hard at about 20 inches deep in my soil. 52 hp pulls it fairly easy. You could always drop a couple if teeth in the one pictured and add them back on if you move to a bigger tractor.
 
I have one, with 3 shanks, that I pull with my 5610, not 4x4.
I can usually go to 12" with 62 HP. If I want/need to go deeper, I just make a 2nd pass in same track.
 
Brookdale used mine with their TW25 4x4 to tear up a reclaimed orchard, with 3 shanks, they caught a big rock, and bent 2 of the shanks. Maybe mine has shorter shanks? Otherwise, it is identical to the one pictured here!
PS: They repaired it better than before!
