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.
