My dad farmed with an 8N Ford in the late 50s and early 60s and worked a full-time job in the oil fields around ElDorado,KS.He Farm 80 acres and sometimes more, raising wheat and sometimes milo. If I remember correctly one year he farmed close to 120 Acres. Often he would have a custom cutter do his wheat but later bought an old International self-propelled. I remember one year an Allis Chalmers all crop pulled by Big John Deere 820 or something oh, and I got to drive the tractor!I remember hauling the wheat to town in his pick up. First was a 51 Chevy half ton, later was a brand new 66 GMC 3/4 ton with tall sides. I remember pulling the pick up in to the truck hoist and lifting up the whole truck.Oh, that was scary! He always talked about wanting to buy a big M Farmall,but never got one. In the late 1960s he quit farming and moved the family to Colorado. However we always kept strong ties to the farm.
