just figure it this way,and it may help.horsepower=speed,never more true than in farming/tillage operations,out west where farms can be thousands of acres you need speed,or you just flat dont have enough time to get your crops in/out when needed.a farmall cub will plow just as well as a 200 hp versitile,just slower.the less time you have,the more hp you need to get work done,if you have all the time you need a 20 hp tractor will do it also.truck/vegetable farming is just a generally slower paced type of farming where you bring in one crop,then another etc.your busy most of the time with different things but it just naturally slower.if you have 5000 acres of wheat ready to combine and storms are forcast,you need speed and effieciency ,reliability to get the job done now!which is why it pays to have new/modern equipment.if your tractor breaks when your digging potatoes for example you can just leave them in the ground and fix it with little loss.believe it or not,even our old tractors were a big time saver once,the average time in 1898 to make one bushel of corn start to finish from plowing to harvest was over 4 hours per bushel,today its way less than 15 mins on most farms.wheat per bushel in the same time frame was 2hrs vrs 4 min.and i'm sure their is some beating this by a bunch today!
