Heck your way ahead of what i farmed a 150 acres with. I had a JUNK 706 gas that i could not sell a junk set of 710 I H 4 bottoms and a half decent 370 disk and NICE 1240 J D plateless planted . And my buy of the century a one owner Massey 300 gas combine with a 10 foot head and 2 row wide corn head that i had a grand total of 750 buck in . BUT gas was around 50 cents a gallon and i did not mind the full week of night plowing all the corn ground some night freezen my arres off , i did not mind that 2 dollar a bushel for the corn . where i did make money was that little Massey 300 as i got 22 bucks and acre for custom shelling . The first year it started off when another guy did something stupid and filled his 6600 Deere with gas and not diesel , when he did this he came running to my shop to ask me what to do ?? I told him to drain the tank and refill with diesel blow out the line change the fuel filter and fill the new one with motor oil and RUN it . He did not believe me so he asked the local Deere dealer and they told him that oh you need a new engine so he believed them to the tune of over 7 grand and he was down for four weeks and i got all his small customers to shell for and that totaled up to 293 acres @ 22 bucks and acre. And i could plum eat corn to the tun of yea go ahead and laugh you big boys 25-30 acres a day if they could get the grain away from me fast enough . I could get into small fields that bigger machines could not i could get thru 12 foot gates and in good corn i could keep two 16 foot grain trucks humpen and 4 to 6 wagons and two tractor running all day . That was the first year with it and each year i had more and the same with the small grain . we had one wet summer and that little light 300 was the only thing able to get in the fields and by the time i was done with oats wheat speltz and Barley i was plum wore out . My total investment in Equipment was under what your 4020 is worth.
