My dad worked a 160 farm in North Iowa from the late 40's until early 80's with 3 mid-size IH tractors. We had a Farmall H, Super M, and 450 most of the time I was growing up. If I remember right the Super M replaced an IH 300. Most of the field work was done with the Super M, 300, and 450. The H had a loader almost year round and was our odd-job tractor (taking wagons to the field, power the elevator to store corn and grain, ect). It was pretty much a full time job for one man when combined with livestock. Up until the mid-60's he milked about 20 cows, picked corn with a 2-row New Idea, cut oats and soybeans with a small IH combine (don't remember the model), baled hay and straw for feed and bedding. He got out of dairying in the 60's and into laying hens in the late 60's, and switched to corn/soybean rotation. We had 40,000 laying hens in the 70's, with 3 teenagers to help with egg chores. By then we were having all the grain custom harvested. I hope that gives you some idea of what you could do.
