You asked how he came up with a million dollars.  I simply went through what some of the stuff I know he had would cost, and I came up with several hundred thousand times however many sets he has.  If you look down below, you will see that he has replied stating how many of each he pulled into the field with, I didn't really know exactly.  I know he was running some 'coupes and a Loral for sprayers and spreaders.

Badger's post was about the million or so bucks worth of equipment that HE pulled into the field with.   What you use isn't really relevant to that. 

Saw you was getting all poetic last night on Facebook.....
