JD 2030 Tractor for raking, moving, and mowing hay

I am looking at a JD 2030 to do the above mentioned with. The rake is a 12 wheel rake, and the mower is a NI 5209 discbine, the rolls will be about 900 lbs. How will this tractor handle all of this? Decent enough?
 
Not sure that a 2030 has enough HP to run a disc mower, espec. a nine footer. I use a 100 HP tractor on mine.
my 2030 is my loader tractor.
 
The 2030 is a good tractor but I think you will find it underpowered for the disc mower.We have a NH 411 and use a 4020.I have never tried a 3020 but I do not think it would pull it and the 2030 is a little smaller than a 3020.
 
I run a 9ft John Deere discbine with my late model 4020 diesel, and in most conditions it knows it's back there. As others have mentioned, I'd say no go on the discbine, but should work great for the rake and moving hay.
 
y didnt say how many acres...you could use a smaller 5 perhaps 6 rotor disc mower or a jd 350 9'6" sickel mower w stub gards i touch up the sickel mower at 15/20 acres with a mini grinder. change from rivits too bolts use the medium coarse top serrated sections and mowe in 5th gear with a jd 60, 40 hp pto, in lite/medium hay, 4th in shoulder high hay 4 5x6 bale/acre. I think there is more maintance with the sickel mower but the entry cost and hp requirement is less...less you have a lot of rocks. I think that youd have less invested in 2 40hp tractors and 2 350 9'mowers than a 4020 and a 7 rotor disc more if you have the 2nd operator how doesnt tear up the equipment. the disk mower will need the bar repaired sooner or later and that will be expensive. the faster you go the more you damage you can do. goodluck

A 2030 could pull a 9' disc cutter with no problems but a 9' with a conditioner would be too much in some crops.
