Corperate farming is taking over. What your seeing is their big equipment and they have several farms that they take care of with them. We have older equipment, but I've had the oppurtunity to operate some of the bigger stuff and I gotta tell you that I don't want to go back to smaller stuff afterwards. Most of the farmers around here have atleast 5,000 gallon liquid manure spreaders, so thats 8lbs to the gallon plus the weight of the spreader, I have pulled one this size with 140hp, but it was really too much for the tractor, ruined the clutch in short order and thank god for spreader brakes because 40,000lbs of liquid manure is way too much for a 12,000lb tractor to stop in a hurry. I'd highly reccomend more hp and 4wd to tow a spreader like that. So chores like that require big tractors, but I have seen people using 150+hp 4wds to tow a hayrake which is absolutly rediculous.
