I've done it with a 27 hp tractor, but did not set any speed records. This was my best year of corn ever! Guess we all try to go too fast....

40 hp would probably be great, you need good hyd output to lift it. I have a couple old 40 hp tractors I would like to use, but their 1500lb hyd systems don't pick it up when full of fert & seed.

I planted last year with no till conditions, but with the liquid fertilizer riding on the tractor three point with my MF-135. At no time did the tractor work hard, it was running at a fast idle all the time. It was a lot easier on the tractor than planting 6 row narrow with an IH Cyclo 400 years ago.

I needed more front weight on the tractor, could only put half a tank of 32% on and still steer with the front wheels.

I"d say 40 HP in good moisture conditions and 50 HP for the wet spots.
