Just a couple words of advice. If you have a good spring or pond, build your garden down below it. Makes it real cheap and handy for irragating. Also, if you don't have real good soil, I would advise you to do some soil building, such as plowing some manuer into the soil. You may want to have a soil test done to see specifically what it needs. I would also advise you to plant a small portion of perminate garden ( especially if the irragation situation is there) like fuit trees, asparagus, horse radish, strawberry's, ext. Sounds to me like you are on the right track if you pick up those peices of equipment. Just remember that if you pick up something that you end up not using you can always get rid of it. Just put it up for sell. If I was you I would get a newer, pretty good sickle mower to mow hay with. The newer ones are much better than the older ones is my opinion. You will also need a hay rake. One that works and don't break down will be just fine. The newer style with the front wheel on it is going to cost you more money than the older styles. If you do like I do, (I hire my bailing done) you will need something to move big round bails with. I got a MF235 and like your tractor it is to small to haul those bails with. So I do like mentioned in one of the other posts, I use a bail cart. Mine is probably about the best cart you can get. It is real heavy duty, and it has a hydraulic cylinder instead of a cable, or a break actuating deal. The bottom of it is half moon like and folds down over the axle backwards. Has a couple of arms that grab the sides when raising up, and brings the center of bail up and over the axle which gives you some tongue weight while traveling. Good luck to ya.
