Like what was said the acre figure is regional. Back in those days we grew more hay and oats and less row crops so the planting window was spread out more. Here in northwest Iowa a tractor like an H Farmall, B Deere, SC Case was seen on an 80 and tended to be the only tractor. The M Farmall, A Deere, DC Case were seen on 160-240 acres and were helped out with a smaller tractor that pulled the end gate seeder, the planter, mowed and raked hay. The bigger tractor wasn't freed up to do lighter summer jobs until row crop cultivating season was over in mid-summer. Farmers who farmed a half section had a Minnie U, G Deere, Oliver 88 size tractor with a smaller tractor pulling the planter while the big dog pulled the disk and spring tooth harrow. There were a couple of 640 acre farms in my neighborhood which was really big for my area. These farms might have had a W9 International, 830 Deere, LA Case but more likely had hired men and multiple big row crop tractors.
