We pencil in 3,500 ac per machince of the size of 7120 or 9770. A good solid machine for that size would be 21/2388, should be able to lick 1800 ac in just over 2 weeks of easy days.

lexion, they are made for the conditions you will often encounter.

9750 JD. Lots of power and capacity for the price and parts are easy to get.
