I can remember when a 150 HP tractor was "BIG". Now that is just about a chore tractor. I was moving a planter around this weekend. I bought a JD 1770 16x30 planter for the liquid fertilizer openers and pumps. The weather was good enough this weekend to get it taken off. I had the one JD 4450 here on the snow blower. So I just used it to move and unfold the planter. It would barely lift the planter when it was folded. Even with duals and front weights it would not pull this planter in the fields around here. That is kind of shocking. A tractor that was a primary tillage tractor on many farms when it was new is now not even a planter tractor.
Here are a couple of pictures. It is rare you can take pictures out in a field this time of year without much snow.
