Its amazing how the times have changed.In 1978 a neighbor bought a new 4400 JD with a 16 ft head.He farmed 1200 acres and with the doublecrop beans ran 1500-1800 acres of wheat-milo-beans thru it every year.

In the early 1980's I knew a guy that ran 1500 acres per year thru a 1440 IH that he bought new,

One neighbor still puts 320 acres per year thru a 4400 JD and beats everyone done.Hes one of the last of the small farmers that lived near me.

Its common now to have a 20-30 ft grain head and 6-8 row corn head for 400-800 acres.My neighbor runs 3-4000 acres per year with a 9770 JD with a 35 ft head and 8 row corn head.
