That was pretty modern equipment for 1989.
Here we had a 706 for the big tractor. The baling tractor was an AC wd45 and the rake/ mowing tractor was a JD A. Dad's grain drill was a Van Brunt on steel.
Grandpa had a Farmall M for his loader, a Farmall H for his mower. Dad did the baling with his wd45. The big tractor was a 4430. The grain drill was a rubber tired 1950's Van Brunt.
My other grandpa that lived 60 miles away ( in the good flat irrigated country.) Had a farmall M he used for mowing, raking, feed grinding, manure spreading and other jobs. His loader was a 3020. Dad comment several times how it must be nice to have such a fancy tractor ( power steering and live hydraulics) for the loader. Grandpa also used his 3020 for listing corn with a 490 lister. Sowed wheat with a 1960's John Deere drill. Also cultivated and hilled corn. The big tractor was a Case 970. It was used only for tillage. His retirement auction was in 2002. The Case had 3,000 hrs.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
