My Grandpa and two uncles, farmed more than was possible with a F12 Farmall and a 10-20 McCormick Deering. Between them they farmed over 640 acres in the hills and 120 acres in the bottoms. Probably 350 acres of row crops, plus a lot of hay, wheat and oats. Dad said they drove in shifts, never shutting them down while the sun was up. And ran at night if could see. They had nine or ten drivers. Said they even poured gas in the F12, while plowing corn. They were still planting with at least two teams. By the time I came along were planting with 2- H Farmall's and mounted 2 row planters. It was my job to run behind with a coal bucket and fill the boxes on every round ,while planting beans. Gave us plenty of time to get into trouble! They ran right together and the one in front started to turn then backed up to let the one behind get in front, then followed. We tried to fill the boxes while he was stopped for about 15 seconds. By then they were probably row cropping a thousand acres with 2 M's 3 H's IHC and 1 G JD . Then we got a 490- 4 row JD planter with bushel boxes and a 8N Ford. You can plant the world with such a rig! :-) Vic
