willy1430,
There are several pictures from different Plow Day events with 7hp s flipping sod with the biggest out there. Merk has a 70 that does a beautiful job plowing. Of course it doesn't hurt he knows what he's doing.
I'm still learning.
Here are two 70s both pulling 10 inch plows.

The first one is me. I was able to pull the plow 4 to 5 inches deep in 2nd gear. The rear wheels where spinning....need more weight on the rear tires(no fluid in tires). I had no wheel spinning in 1st gear.

A 7 horsepower motor will do a good job plowing. Don't expect to go to the races when you pull a plow.
