It depends on the soil type. Lighter loamy soils and sands allow a given horsepower tractor to pull wider implements and the improbability of soil clodding reduces the number of trips across a field. If you have light loamy soil that may only require two trips it is possible to maybe get by with a 730 though it most likely make for some long days. An 830 would accomplish more but good ones are expensive and the parts availability are not what the row crops are. Another thing to consider is the weather. There are soils here in the Finger Lakes that can be worked 1 hour after a 1 inch rain and there are soils clay and otherwise that a 1 inch rain may put you out of the field for the better part of a week.
To be honest unless you have ideal soils that minimize tillage trips and are not seriously impacted by the weather I would look at a tractor over 100 horsepower which eliminates the 2 cylinders. You can look up unit factoring to calculate hours needed to perform field operations on some extension websites or if you are good at math and know how to convert units of measure you can do it yourself. The biggest thing to remember for operations such as plowing, disking, field cultivating, etc. that you are not 100 percent efficient on an hourly basis. Time is lost turning on headlands, time to eat, bathroom, etc. At best you are 90 percent efficient and on moldboard plowing you might be 80 percent or less. Take some time and do some math based on the implements available for this project or job.

Today's Featured Article - It Can't Be Done! - A Tractor Story - by Neil Campbell. I'll never forget the time back when I was a boy baling hay on our Farm in Big Rapid, Michigan. The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally ... [Read Article]
