[AT] Cockshutt 30/ Auction Farm Size

[Gene Dotson]

    Guy that farms the 160 acre farm next to me comes in with 2 big John 
Deeres with triple wheels and all wheel drive with 50 foot tillage tools and 
in 2 hours have the field ready to plant with the 32 row planter. Harvesting 
16 rows at a time and running 3 semi trucks and a 1400 bushel grain cart 
takes 6 hours.
    If we had all the Cubs here at once, we could probably gang up and scare 
one of the tractors away.
