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" .

Can be done.
