I often stop and think of how far farm equipment has come, like a Farmall M used to be a "big" tractor, and the Allis Chalmers 190 used to be a big tractor during it's day, etc... but now they are considered kinda small, and I find it amazing to compair old things to new, like look at how much hay balers have changed capacity wise verses the old JD 14T. Tractors have gotten huge, like for example the big 500hp articulators produced by CNH and JD. To think years ago a tractor that could pull 4 to 5 bottoms was a huge tractor, but todays tractors could probably pull 12-15. Look at how mowing hay used to be done with a sicle bar mower and I think most of those were 6'-7' wide, but some of todays mowers are mounted to the front and rear of the tractor and I see some that are 30' wide. Can you imagine what people who have been gone for alittle while would think now.
