it sure wasnt like now when you jump in your 4 wheel drive and run over a quarter in just a few hrs. those old tractors run pretty much 16-18 hrs. a day. my uncle and dad farmed up to 5 quarters in the late 50's and early 60's with with massey 44 and mccormick w6. they pulled 10'jd disc and cultivators, and 3x16 jd plows.these trastors had no hydraulics either. then in the fall the crop was cut with a 10'jd binder, stooked and thrashed with the thrashing machine.plus did a lot of thrashing for the neighbors as not everyone owned a thrashing machine.this took place everyday till they finished or the snow came. then once winter came they worked in the lumber camps till spring and came home to farm again.those old timers went through a lot of hard work.dad just passed away suddenly 2 months ago at 84 which caught us by surprise, as he seemed healthy as a horse.so be good to the old people as you are only left with memories.
