75 hp to pull a 12 row? Our 886 (with duals) that was turned up to 95hp had all it could handle pulling an 800 6 row planter. But we also put down dry ferilizer and liquid chemicals with it too. Before that we would cover thousands of acres a year with a 656 and a 56 6 row plate planter. Used to put up well over a 1500 acres of hay a year with just an H and a 240 doing all the mowing and a 656 baling with a 440 baler. 90% of that hay was picked up by hand and stacked on two 2 ton trucks and hauled to various barns and restacked by hand (no electricity). Winter of '83 the cattle herd was sold and the same hay was stacked (by hand) in cattle semis for their return trips to Tennessee and North Dakota. Carrying hay bales the length of a trailer while bent over (5' possum trailers usually still full of frozen cow XXXX) was one job that really sucked. Could get about 600 bales per trailer.
