Bryce, you can do it. Just have to farm smart instead of hard. If you use a 4020 ya don't load the thing up with a 5 btm plow and clod buster and put a turbo on it too. Nice little 4-16 and no turbo and it will last. Limited tillage and rotate wheat / hay / soybeans. All easy on the equipment. Corn is just a high labor crop and harvest puts you into bad weather and mud and leaves you with tore up fields and a mess of stalks to deal with. Helps to think "lazy" . One can save a lot of $$$ and grief sitting at the kitchen table thinking and planning the "lazy" (read effecient) way of doing things as apposed to thinking you have to be "out there" busting your butt every daylight hour. My Dad learned real quick how to farm 500 acres "alone" after the last of us four boys left the farm. Biggest tractors were two 830 CK Case,s. I would help him plant sometimes but that was it. Can be done.
