No shortage of power in the 3020 John. Of course it was picking up swath 
as straight cutting was almost unheard of with a pull type by the 1970s. 
He was picking up a 14 foot swath of wheat cut by a John Deere 200A 
swather. Not sure of the speed but seems to me his rub bars were getting 
worn down and he was keeping the clearance pretty tight to thresh the 
wheat. I'd estimate speed around 2 mph or so. It made it easy for me on 
the 2010 pulling the hopper wagon unloading on the go. Long straight 
swaths most of the time and fairly consistent speeds.
On second thought, I'm wrong. The time that I am thinking of he had 
upgraded to a 4020 power shift pulling the 65 combine. But I know he 
used the 3020 for the first few years.
