We don't have large farms here like you. Still see nothing bigger than a 4440 but then again they are dying out quickly. A lot of work is hired out. With the wet year we've had I got to see more old tractors and haying equipment than I've seen in decades because of the short cutting window.
I'll tell you a story about how farming used to be here. An old neighbor I used to have got out of the service in late 1946. He had saved most of his pay while he was there.
