Yeah Gary it can be a vicious circle. But I would say there are thresholds. The thresholds are based on time and cost. A 50 hp tractor can work so much ground per hour when the operator runs out of time he/she either has the size of the farm or does one of two things--hires another operator with another 50 hp tractor or buys a bigger tractor. So if you have 50 tillabe acres and you have to get the plowing (for example) done in say 2 days then you need X size equipment. The 2 days is driven by say you have a 8 to 5 job and can only work at night and the weekends. Let's say for this example you are actually getting it done in 1 day. Now the neighbors place goes on the market, same size you alreay have-50 acres, and because you do have that 8 to 5 job you can afford to buy it (rent it). Still have to get the plowing done in 2 days and you can. Then you buy yest another piece still have to get done in 2 days but it takes 3 days so what do you do? Hire someone or buy bigger equipment. That's what I mean by thresholds.
