That is a taller larger large field unit than mine. A Row tractor.

Here is the stripped down version - missing the front end loader and
the heavy mower on the rear. It could have a bucket on the back as well.
I have the Heavy powered unit with more Hydraulics so I can add
options easily as I have.

I'm under 10 acres so I don't need a big one. Wish I had a 2_Series unit
but didn't know at the time. It is much heaver and can really work.

We have 7 quarters (a "quarter" is one-fourth a section or 160A) and
rent another 6 to farm a total of 13 quarters dryland mostly wheat and
milo in far SW KS...that picture's similar to the smaller row crop at
about 180 drawbar HP. It's still _very_ small compared to the larger
operators with their 20+ corn planters and all, but they're not 3-pt
setups.

On acreage we're about average for the area in size but nothing at all
compared to some that are 3-4X the size of operation but that's twice
the size were when was growing up in the 60s and were probably in top
third back then.
