Well I am not a real farmer, but just a piddle patch hobbyist. A farmall M (bone stock pistons), late model John Deere A, or Case DC are my biggest horsepower tractors at 36 to 38 hp or so.
Oh, I forgot my wife (yes my wife) just bought a Ford 850 which is 44 hp or so. Have not used it yet though.
Back in the day, the Farmall h was marketed in all literature for farms up to 160 acres. That farmer could work sun up to sun down on that tractor.
If I was retired, then I am confident that I could farm a few acres even with my old antiquated equipment.
