Ricey: That rule is quite general in maybe the broadest of terms. My thoughts would be drawbar hp just to be on the safe side.

If your going to be plowing in rocky clay soil those rocks embeded in clay don't move quite as easily as rock in sandy loam. Over the years, I have found that plowing in rock and stone, your dollars in, if you keep your speed at or below 3.5 mph. Yes trip beam is supposed to protect the plow, but you can still experience damage. I've seen bottoms not trip when they should have.

If your wanting to do 3 - 14 or 16 I'd go with a tractor over 45 drawbar hp. Get a manual for those trip beams, and learn how to manually trip them just before plowing each season. If your plow sits for basically 11.5 months rust can play a factor in that trip mechanism. Have a good time plowing, it is an enjoyable experience.
