I worked part-time for an older couple in the 1980's. They farmed 400 dryland acres, corn, soybeans, and a little wheat on occasion. They did it all with a couple Farmall M's, a 4020, and a 715 I.H. combine.
The 4020 did most of the tillage and field work, discing, field cultivating, and row crop cultivating (they were a full-tillage operation; that was the norm back then). The only thing the M's did were to pull a 4-row planter and do the mowing and occasional loader work (their cattle were gone by the time I worked for them). Spraying was hired custom.
They were not "overpowered" by any means, but were equipped well enough to get done in a timely manner. They only farmed their own ground and family owned ground so there were no landlords to impress. I knew of several people in the neighborhood who farmed less ground with more iron. They were definitely one of the lowest "low cost" producers around, but usually had some of the best looking corn around.
