You can do it! Don't let anyone tell you that you can't, either.
About your tractor: I know someone with a Farmall 806 and says it is a great tractor. You may not need one that big, or you may need to go bigger. I have heard that the turbo 1206 is good as well, and just the other day I saw an add for a Farmall 560 for $3,000. Any way you go, you probably want either an old Farmall or old John Deere.
About your disc: Nick mentioned a 12 foot disc, and while I think that will work fine for you, I believe it is a little small for the type of tractors mentioned. A Farmall M could probably pull something that size.
About your planter: Just get whatever size you have the time to mess with. If you aren't busy, then a 2 row would work, but if you are in a hurry, get an 8 row, or something in between.
About harvesting equipment: Combines are extraordinarily expensive. While you can always get a POS for $20,000, a good one will cost you much more. So, for your operation, I think you would be better off to work a deal out with someone for now, unless you can find a whale of a deal.
