Back in the late 50's,60's and 70's a quick guesstimation of dads 6 Tractors would show that his Super 99 was used the most at about 450 Hrs a year. He Dairy farmed 450 acres with 200 acres row crops,80 acres oats,80 acres hay and 50 acres rotating and 30 acres permanent pasture plus he did about 200 hrs of custom plowing with the 99. The other tractors,8N,Oliver 18-28 ,70,77,77,88 probably accumulated a like amount of hrs.So ,450 acres of farming with 6 tractors and some custom work,900 hrs would be a close guess.The last 20 years of his farming life a few machines were self propelled,such as the haybine,fox chopper and JD 70 combine which releived the wheel tractors from hours of operation some what.He had a hired man and 12 kids plus mom some times and himself so their was work for every one. I was the oldest and now at 73 years I look back and am happy to have been of that era.JH
