OK what I mean about the local farmers is that they will tell him everything wrong with his plan without regrade to how good or bad it is in hopes that they can rent it. Most of the guys I know who would be interested in it would most likely do beans first. In fact I've tried to talk him into renting it to several different people that I know will do it right.

He wants to farm but other than baling when he was a kid he has no experience. I think if he really wants to do something he should fence it, buy some weaned claves in the spring and sell em as feeders in the fall. He snowbirds anyway and at least he may be able to make a few bucks doing that.

30 BPA??? Shows what I know. I thought he could maybe get 80-100.

He hasn't been on a tractor in a long time. I wonder if he really remembers what it's like. He knows where he can get a WD45 cheap enough but I don't think he's looked at finding the other stuff he would need. I've also tried to explain to him that come harvest around here the guys that will do custom work are going to make sure that thier crop is finished first. That could see his corn in the field over winter.

Anyway thanks guys for all the input. At least when he returns in Apr I can set down with him and better explain what the deal is.

Rick

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
