In Reply to: Tractors too big posted by charlie M on September 19, 2013 at 17:56:30:
When we moved out of the mountains and onto the farm back in 95 I had a VAC and a VAI and a team of draft horses. I couldn't imagine I'd ever need more than that since I'd plowed and moved everything I could think of back in the hills. I was one of the only 3 tractors in town, the others being an F14 and a Cub. In truth, the team would outpull any of them. Today I still get by pretty well with a couple 55 hp tractors but something in the 75-85 hp class would be better suited to my land for plowing and round baling. As it is I have to widen a couple gates if I want to use some fields regularly.
Meanwhile, the neighbor down the road a couple miles has a mess of 100+ hp rigs. He was going to bale for me one year until we realized the tractor he wanted to use wouldn't physically fit down a couple of my wagon roads and would likely crush a couple of my culverts. So, yes, I've seen "too big".
