I know this has nothing to do with an H, but I believe the comment about 160 acres being possible. My grandpa bought an Oliver 60 from an elderly couple a few years back who told him that they had farmed 180 acres with it for something like a couple decades.
They said they would farm for an 8 hour shift each, plus an 8 hour shift from a hired hand (thus, the tractor ran all 24 hours). They said that someone would come out with food, gas, and an oil rag halfway through each shift and that person would get on and plow until the meal was finished. Then the original operator could finish their shift.
I thought they were pulling his leg with all that, but he said they were almost in tears as he pulled out of the driveway with their old tractor, so I doubt it.
Regardless, I wanted to share because it's a cool story, and because a 60 is comparable to an H, if not somewhat smaller.
