Kubota B2620 (26HP)

They used to do ok with a mule on 40 acres so I'm golden.

While a mule may be smarter and will step around and over the plants, my tractors follow instructions better.:laughing:

Hard to do this with farming though as at least 1/2 the work is done by other machines such as combines grain trucks and swathers ,Which would alter it considerably ?
If i added -

IH 1688 combine........270hp
IH 1480 combine........240hp
Hesston 8110 swather..75hp
GMC brig tandem........280hp
Ford L9000 tandem.....350hp

Would get 2827hp = 1.98 per acre ....I'm still surprised it's such a small number !

Hmm.... when will you learn it's not the size of the tool but how you work it that counts:thumbsup:

50/215 = .23 hp/ac

Here's a photo of me carrying an absolutely immobile post hole and fully braced corner which won't rot or rust, when I set it down .

What is with the pvc pipe? Do you have a toilet in your cab too?:laughing:

 

[texasjohn]

That's 2800 lbs of concrete surrounding the post hole, but you knew that. :thumbsup:
The white PVC on the tractor(by the door, stuck in the loader crossbar, etc) holds chains, a 3lb sledge hammer, whatever fits.

Wait... Should I count the entire property, or leave out the portion that I'm renting out?

Ford 1510......23hp

120 acres

23/120 = .19hp per acre :shocked:

If I leave out the rented ag field, it looks a little better (60 acres of crop may not be much, but it pays the property taxes! :

23/60= .38hp per acre
