Mike: I'll be darned if it doesn't take a lot more horsepower than it did 50 years ago. I had an uncle, milked 20 cows on a 100 acres and did all his work with a Super A.

My dad did 30 cows on 200 acres with a Cub and an H, Later on in 59, it was 40 cows on 250 acres with a 300, 130 and Cackshutt 540, see how we were slipping. The very first year we plowed 100 acres we did it with 130 and 2x12 plow. Cockshutt and 300 were loading and spreading manure.

And to think, just 4 years later we added 30 more acres, 560D with a 4x16 plow and 10 more cows. 130 became dad's toy. Man did that little tractor take a beating in it's first 5 years.

Seriously now, I'm getting almost as old as Allan, and if I were going to do any seroius farming it would be nothing less than an 04-06. Those tractors have all the qualities of a Farmall H or M, but most of all they have it with comfort, they are nice on your legs, your bum, your back and most certainly must be good for your head. But don't get a gasser, just look at what that old gasser's been doing to Allan in the past few weeks, it's certaimly getting to his head. Allan said Harley's been farming with Ms, he's already very good natured, just think what that 706 is going to for his well being.

My friend, if your doing yard work or looking at them, pre 1963 is fine, if your planning on a days work, post 1963. That my friend is the great devide at Farmall.
