The other tractors,8N,Oliver 18-28 ,70,77,77,88 probably accumulated a like amount of hrs.So ,450 acres of farming with 6 tractors and some custom work,900 hrs would be a close guess.The last 20 years of his farming life a few machines were self propelled,such as the haybine,fox chopper and JD 70 combine which releived the wheel tractors from hours of operation some what.He had a hired man and 12 kids plus mom some times and himself so their was work for every one. I was the oldest and now at 73 years I look back and am happy to have been of that era.JH
