We have an 10ft Howard rotovator. In normal running an 85hp 6430 isn't quite enough. A 130hp TW20 is plenty. You can run it with less hp but when you hit a tough spot it really works the tractor. I believe knife condition would also have a large effect.
If it has a crumb roller, make sure you have enough capacity to lift it when it fills with mud.
