In my area, East central Wi. Yes it would. Depending on which part of the field you're in, it would be anywhere from a good load to a very hard pull but, the 3020s around here usually had 3-16s.
 
I have pulled a 3 bottom with my 3010, it did fine. Not sure I think it was a 14". Not fast I have heavy dirt 3rd gear it was happy. Have pulled a 2 bottom rollover and it would stop me dead.
 
3-14 was common for 3010's in western Iowa on hilly Marshall soils. A lift harrow or a section of spike tooth harrow was often added for spring plowing. By now your tractor has probably been overhauled with 3020 pistons or some other oversized pistons, but the RPM would still be 2200 instead of 2500 on a 3020.
 
What type of transmission, I worked for a guy with a 3020 and we used 3-16's and it walked with them it had the cyncrorange, my dad bought a 3020 with the power shift that thing would struggle with 3-16's.
 
I have a 3010 Diesel. I pull a 4-14 with no problem in 3rd and some times in 4th. The soil is black with clay on the hills.
The plow that i have is a case hydraulic lift trail plow. I have pulled a John Deere F145 3-16 with the 3010 and that seemed to pull harder then the 4-14.

I was told by the Facebook/ yesterday?s tractor committee of keyboard farmers that a 3020 diesel power shift wouldn?t pull itself down the road . I pull a 16 foot John Deere 100 tool carrier with 16 inch wheat land sweeps and a 16 foot John Deere hoe drills in 4th gear at 1700 rpm in plowed ground . also pull a 14 foot ih tandem disk with a mounted spike tooth harrow in 3rd and 4th first pass over plowed ground . A 3x14 plow i can go in 3rd and 4th

It's more accurate than the ones who claim they pull 8 20" bottoms in 6th gear 14" deep in heavy clay...

All that high and mighty talk about honesty and integrity when dealing with U-haul, but when a plowing question comes up, the tall tales abound.

I'm curious how deep you pull that JD model 100 tool carrier with 16'' sweeps with a drill behind that with a 3020????? Have you ever towed it in hard soil without the drill in tow?? If so how deep did your 3020 pull it?
 
I use it as a cultivator not as a chisel plow that?s
why it has 16 inch sweeps on it instead of chisel
points and that?s why I said tool carrier not chisel
plow I?m working the ground 4 inches deep
secondary tillage not chisel plowing 18 inches deep
i Hope you can understand that ? I?ve pulled a 6
row potato row marker that had 7 John Deere chisel
shanks and 7 John Deere true depth shanks with 7
dammer diker wheels with an 8410t John Deere on
and With those 14 shanks all the way In the ground
I can bring that tractor to a dead stop

I was fully aware of what you were doing as many yrs back several local farmers utilized similar chisel plows a sweep plows to control grass/weeds. In fact there's a chisel plow with large sweeps/spring tooth harrow attach. sitting idle for yrs on a piece of property I lease to graze cattle on.
 
I know this is isn?t fair because they say those case plows actually push instead of pull and this is also a 3020 so more horsepower than a 3010 . I think pulling 3x16 one way plow you might pull it but not a two way of course it depends a lot of your dirt more than anything and hoe deep you want to plow . I pull 3x16 rollover with my 4020 I had it on the dyno it made 115 horsepower at 540 rpm and I know that?s not fair either because one John Deere horsepower is only 7/8 of any other brands horsepower but a 3x16 rollover plow is perfect for it in heavy ground I can run a gear or two slower and in light ground I can gear up and throttle back a little . I grew up pulling a ih 550 5x16 on the same 4020 but when I found a rollover plow I never looked back it?s smaller than the five bottom but still get as much work done because your not driving around working In lands and only plowing one way to finish up the headlands or plowing the corners out if your plowing In a square . I still have a couple one way plows but they don?t get used much
