How many tractors are needed on a 50-100 acre farm?

I am interested in purchasing some farmable land. I have no idea what I would want to start farming. My landlord (also neighbor) farms the land behind me. Not sure what he plants or anything, but he is raising a few cows as well. He has 3 tractors that I have seen. Not to mention two other harvesting machines. But the tractors, there is an older Ford I think 600 or 800 series, another older Ford 3000 I believe, then he has a John Deere that is like 3 times bigger than the Fords stacked on top of each other. And his farm isn't all that big, looks about 50-100 acres. I am just curious how many tractors are really needed and what the heck he needs 3 of them for and what they might be used for. I'm curious as to know how many I'd need to purchase to start farming some land I will be purchasing soon. I would just got talk to the neighbor, but he always seems so busy and I don't want to interupt his work. So I'm hoping someone here can give me some insight.

Hi Hemi,

It depends upon the type of crop, workload, job type & size and time with simultanious handling of different equipments.
It is better to do small jobs with small tractors.
Bigger Horse power tractors are capable of doing larger & faster jobs.
I am able to handle 50 acres of land with only one tractor in standard crops.

Yes. I absolutely agree with these. And also having a big area requires a bi budgeting considering crops and pesticides.

Creative security is the catch phrase of describing the products of Adobe Softwares. They range from PDF generators, Adobe Flex, photoshops, and the rest. The best thing in Adobe as of this reading is that you can avail discounts in the form of the norton 360 discount. Online Promo codes are the best to use when you will avail certain goods all over the Internet. Actually, you will save much on using these great codes. The Promo codes that I am using to buy Adobe Products are called Adobe voucher Codes. In the mean time try scanning around other sites that offer software goodies, you will notice that there are no adobe vouchers intact, because it is or them to use not you. Unlike here, on my coven of promo codes you can utilized no only these Adobe voucher Codes, all things you can imagine can be found on this particular promo code site.
