In Reply to: Using old tractors: posted by conoverbandit on March 24, 2013 at 19:08:07:
I too am trying to get a farm started from basically nothing. 5 years ago I was using a sickle mower and a John Deere A. I have found a few things to be true for me. 1. If the older equipment is in good shape it will do what it was intended for (often much cheaper than the newere on an hourly comparison. 2. Usually the older equipment is not in good shape and the cost of getting it there... (my first two years my parts per acre was more than my fertilizer/rent) 3. When it come to an acre/hour comparison the older equipment just can't get enough done in the same amount of time. (I found that stuff from the 40's was easy to acquire and get going, but stuff from the 60's/70's wasn't that much more expensive and would do almost twice as many acres/hour) Each place and managament is different find what works for you and your goals.
