Well, this is just my opinion, so don't get mad at me, I'm only 21 anyhow....First thing I would do is to find a neighbor or someone who would want to farm it for a while. That will keep it from getting all grown up. Is all 120 acres tillable? Then in the mean time you could get a tractor and a bush hog and keep the place mowed down and looking nice. I would look towards about a 65 horsepower tractor or so, depending on what you want. That size tractor will pull a 4 bottom plow, about a 12-14' disk, and an okay size planter. I personally like IH, and would reccommend a 656, 686, or 666 or something like that, but all the major brands made decent tractors. I would buy something that is a popular brand like a Deere, IH, Massey Ferguson or maybe even a Ford, so you don't have to hunt for parts. As for a combine, I don't know if you really need one on 120 acres, seems you could get a neighbor to do it for ya, and save your money, but you can find older combines for about $5000 or so, but I don't know if you could use them to harvest say corn from these new planters, as the rows are pretty narrow, but then new planters are pretty expensive as well. If I were you I would check out this link to fastline, it will give you a good idea of equipment costs and also of anything for sale in your area. Good luck, hope everything works out for ya. These are just my suggestions, so just take them as that, my opinions. Where are ya located?
