Double crop several hundred acres of wheat with a couple thousand acres of rowcrop, then put up over a thousand acres of hay - some of it with three cuttings, then feedout a couple hundred head of cattle and several hundred head of feeder hogs. In your spare time do some custom ground work for neighbors to make the interest payments.

The cattle and hogs alone will account for 10-20 hours of PTO work on a grinder every week. In a year's time that's 500 - 700 hours. That's before you even feed a bale of hay or a load of silage or clean a feedlot.

When I was helping out last spring the "new" combine had almost 1000 separator hours on it, the "older" combine had over 3000 hours seperator hours.
