forget the 2bottom stuff. price fuel etc you won't make dime on the soybeans. Keee p your money rent it out you will be way ahead,Farming is all I have ever done till 4years ago,such a way to lose money,whether you have 50 acres or 5000 acres. Its tough. Anyway if you want to pursue get you a 5 bottom plow at least cause you can buy them for what the little 2 and 3 units bring in my area. Get Oliver JD IH tractor they will all do it 80hp and above and you will be fine. But for those acres especiall y doing soybeans you need combine etc etc etc. I were you I would get notill drill and one pass it with the beans use round up and your done,but you will still be lucky to break even,even in a good crop year. Alfalfa crops or mixes you can make way more dollars per acre ,but you have to do the marketing of the product,unlike grain crops where you dump it at the elevator and take whatever they give you that day. Don't mean to sound like a grump on your idea but I am just letting you know the real world of it. I have all types of the used equipment available if that would help you out any also. Can get you used, new,antique or the horse drawn stuff if that would help you anyway you decide. Good Luck RickL ps if you do the hay stuff by all means try to do the small squares it is the best way to sell it in my business hands down.
