That works in an arid wheat area, back in the day, & 2 full time fellas doing the work. Neighbor ran 80 acres of land with an 8N here - corn & soybeans & oats. That's a lot to put under one N in our wet weather. His only job tho, full time farming - back then. I bet this fella might have a regular job & need to wedge the farming into a few hours now & then. :) Need to get something done when he has the time to do it. Nebraska grows a lot of corn, but under irrigation & big pivots I thought. Surprised he can grow it on a 30 acre field. Besides, the bigger tractors sell for less these days than the little ones. He needs cheap hp. Thanks for the story. :) --->Paul
