Person's gotta do what they gotta do. $$$-wise you should keep renting it out, but gotta do what you gotta do.

Tractors have hitches, you can switch implemrnts from one to the other. You got 2 good tractors, you don't need a 3rd one. Not at all. You're a collector, not a farmer, if your first priority is to get a 3rd tractor for 30 acres of ground.

Good planter. 7000, corn is fussy, plant it right, sounds good. You could sure do fine with a cheaper drill if you want any of this to make dollar sense in the long run, beans and wheat you can spill into the ground and be fine. If you forget the wheat for a year or 2, the JD 7000 will plant the beans fine for you, save a piece of equipment. Anyhow for a year or 2.

'Here' there are a lot of good custom combiners that do a good job and cheaper than you can own a combine for 50 acres or less; while the coop spray guys tend to be paid by the hour and don't really care so much about quality of work. You can make a better crop 'here' by buying & running your own pull type sprayer, and hire out the harvesting. I'd for sure, for sure, skip the 3rd tractor and buy a $300 sprayer, put new tips on it, and do your own spraying. Will be something that makes you money.

Combine - getting hard to find parts for older than a 4400 any more. When an important part fails, there you sit, can't find a part or takes a week to russel something up, lot of crop lost. If you can find a combine that old in good shape, have fun, I understand. Getting harder & harder to find a small machine for low bucks that is worth running....

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
