i use a 4 bottom, 14 inch JD 3pt plow with my FORD 8000 (105hp),it has plenty of power but in some of the ground around here in the northeast it will ocasionaly have a bit of trouble with traction, but only when breaking new ground and even then its rare. we have a FORD 3400, and i realy doubt the 3pt would even lift the plow. a 4 bottom plow will be practicly as long as the tractor, mine is a good 7 or 8 ft long i believe. when you drive down the road with it on it even makes the front of my 8000 a bit light, i definatly wouldnt think that a 42 hp tractor would pull it unless ya were in real light soil, i think that if ya did even get the tractor to lift it, it would be like droping an anchor as soon as you put it in the ground
