Hmmm, looks like a nice field to plow and a good job doing it. Seems like that outfit could have done more than an acre an hour though. Back in the 1980's I usta pull a JD #555 3-16 with my '53 Super M and I could average over an acre an hour easily and I didn't have nice fields like that one to plow. I had hills and rocks to plow in. Old SM had 4 1/8 sleeves and pistons and it had plenty of power....and appetite for fuel...burnt about the same as your tractor actually. Now I've got a 60+ horse JD G "toy" that burns even more fuel....but it "plays" with the old JD #55 3-14's I pull with it. I sure I can plow over an acre an hour with it....and I'm sure it will burn more gas. John Deere G's really drink the sauce when they're workin'. I think plowing is a great job, about the best enjoyment running a tractor you can get.
