Hey guys,
I am a small scale organic farmer, < 1 acre, with the option to increase to 5. I have been using a tricycle Super C of my grandfathers. I have a bracket that fits in the 2 point fast hitch to use 3 point implements. It has the 80" axles on it. I was thinking of getting a 140 to incorporate into my farm, but how well will it work with my Super C? Other options I thought of was going to a M or H with an aftermarket 3 point hitch to help with big chores like breaking land and disking or maybe a John Deere 420. I like the 140 because it seems very maneuverable and implements and parts are EVERYWHERE in my area (Eastern North Carolina). I've noticed that super C implements are very hard to find around here. I am planting collards this fall and have gotten my hands on a Holland 1 row transplanter, but to use it on my Super C I am going to have to mount it on a toolbar slightly offset from the center of the tractor. Most stuff I plant on 36" center.
This is a hobby, sure I like the few bucks I make but I am looking something to help utilize my time better, make getting my hands on implements easier and to be cost effective. My goal is to make into something my 5 yr old can work when he is older to make money and learn about work/business.
Interested on y'alls take on incorporating different platforms into use.
