So long as you are not in a hurry and dont pull it very deep. Soil type has everything to do with how it drafts.
 
I'm not sure how JD rated the model 50. The 520 is rated as a "three plow" tractor, and would handle tat implement just fine I believe.
 
We had one like that, called a "disk tiller," pulled it with a JD B. Ours had 5 blades and covered a 4 foot width of cut. Was about all old JD B wanted to pull. Did a remarkable job of cutting up sod, but that second time over, across the first furrows was a nasty ride. Ours had heavy cast wheels - weighted. When you pushed the hydraulic lever, that thing was going down no matter what. I don"t know who manufactured yours, but it doesn"t look like our JD.

Anyway, I think that one"s out your league - Id want at least a 60, or better yet a 70 to pull that. A 50 is just a glorified B -right?
 
Looks like a load for a 50. Don't think mine would do well on it. Unless you barely got it in the ground.

I never saw anything like that in this part of the country.

Well, I looked at the 27th edition of "The Operation, Care and Repair of Farm Machinery" published by John Deere Cos. in 1955. They showed a JD 40 with a two disc plow only. I think your pics were showing seven. I don't think you can pull that unless you are just scratiching the ground to remove wheat stubble or something like that.

You will likely need a 70 to pull that properly, but a 60 might work in light soil keeping it kind of shallow.

That is just my opinion and what I based it on....
 
Quick follow up. Some of those plows were somewhat adjustable according to the book. You could remove discs or change the angle to suit the job. That being the case, you might be able to work with it. Good luck trying to get those bolts loose!
 
I used one of those as a kid-- we called them a one way-- didn't seem to work very well in our clay soils, but I think they did pretty well in Western Kansas sandy soils. If the soil was dry, it just kind of bounced along on top, but if the soil moisture conditions were just right, it would really dig, and pull HARD. Dad had an M-M GTA-- bigger than a JD 70, and I think a 12 disk oneway, and that was all that tractor wanted. I don't think you will be happy with your JD50, unless you are working very lightly or in very sandy soils.
 
We pulled one ways for years - I was glad when Dad bought a 16 ft with hydraulics --- pulled it with a Fordson major diesel -- I think the first Fordson we had was 1951 --- I am sure that the 2nd Fordson was a 1954.

also pulled that one-way with an Internation w-9 --- Gas .
And yes this is SW Kansas - and the soils were sandier than the black gumbo --- But you can run them deep at a severe angle or a slight angle -- Hard pulling depends on depth and angle.

You might want to google Angell one way plow for further info.

Anyone ever try to pull an 8' Culver City? It would pull a JD 80 Diesel to it's knees around here I couldn't reach the lift stick fast enough before it killed it deader than a doornail on that hard luggin SOB. As a kid I hated that because of going through the pony motor thing.
