All of these are very interesting replies. this is not a "scientific" or an exact question. I asked this question to get everyone to think about how far we have come. I had not thought about transportation but I will have to consider that one.
I would have to say hydrolics. Think about land preparation. How big of a tillage tool, cultivator or planter you could use if you did not have hydrolics to lift them. This applies to 3pt lifts as well as SCV operated equipment. While I know some of this could be lifted using chains and cables, how limiting would that be?
>Look at your fertilizer. How is most of it applied? Spreader truck? While it COULD be chain driven most modern ones are hydrolic.
Chemicals. How is most of it applied? Either 3pt sprayer or pull behind with hydrolic fold booms.
Harvesting. Look at most combines. While most of it could be driven with belts, would that not severely limit the size in comparison to today's machines?
