I got a Ford 7700, TW-20, and only added 30 acres tillable.
But then: In dad's day, you didn't dare plant corn be4 May 9th or it froze out. Now they tell me you lose yield for any day after May 5th you plant corn. Seed corn genetics & treatment allows it to survive cold & wet.
Beans dad didn't get in the ground much before June. Now they like to be planting those May 10th.... Turns out they survive cold temps in spring better than corn nowadays....
Dad planted a lot of wheat & oats to spread out the work load. Hard to make much money on those crops 'here' any more with the advances corn has made.
Then dad harvested about 9000 bu of crop off the whole farm in a good year. I hauled a bit over 25000 bu off. To do that takes a lot more attention to getting things done on time, plus getting more done in fall harvest.
Really, I'm wishing for a 160-80 hp tractor to get things done right around here, the TW20 is a tad light to get things done.
