On paper a 3020 might seem like it's a match for the 80, but out in the field it is not going to hang with an 80.
Your soil type, amount of rocks, plowed/not plowed will matter a lot. As well as how well ballasted it is and how heavy the disk is. We have an 820 at 11,000 lbs that we used to work pulling 5-16's, I would expect it to handle an average 12 ft disk in almost any conditions.
Just for a comparison our 630 will pull a 12 foot John Deere AW disk in plowed ground, it works for it, but the 10 ft one works better.
