More questions from the new guy (I have a million of them).

Is there a rule of thumb, chart or some other source that matches implements with tractor horsepower and/or ground speed. I have a JD 613 cutter and have access to my neighbors collection of implements & attachments. Everything from old stuff made partially from wood to brand new. (They have been farming so long they have pictures of their old steam powered tractors).
Any way they have all sizes of discs, chisels, seed drills, mowers, cutters, bailers, etc. They have MF, JD, FarmAll, Oliver, etc. tractors. I have a little JD 870 4WD.
So I would like to know what I can borrow and then safely use.

Thanks
