Damm Dave and I was worried if 43 hp was too much for 7 AC. :laughing:

~1.7 HP per acre then

Funny that number came up, thats approx what I found with the farm side of my family:

CIH 5240 @ 100hp
IH 1066 @ 125
CIH 7130 @ 184
NH TM190 @ 172
Ford 8730 @ 140
Ford TW-25 @ 140
IH 1206 @ 112
IH 1256 @ 116

1089 HP for approx 650 Acres of tillable land = 1.67 hp/acre

Cool. That means that those of us who have about 1.7 or so are about right.

That would mean I could only have a 4hp mower

I've not seen a cabbed 4hp push mower yet :laughing: OR I could get a 2hp Push mower and a 2hp snowblower :thumbsup:

All tractors: (60+21+18)/54= 1.83

Not counting the JD 318 riding mower: (60+21)/54 = 1.5

Average of the two: 1.67

That seems to be the magic number here :laughing:
