Wow! You made my head swim with what you are about to do and I've been at this for many years.To find all of that equipment is going to be a challenge.Hope you have a large shed.If fifteen people answer you, you will have fifteen different ideas, so in the end you are going to have to make your own decision anyway.I question someone with no experience wanting a baler & combine.A new one will cost you four times the cost of your land, but you could probably learn to operate it.An old baler or combine will need the experience of someone who has been around them for years to baby it though.I am retired from John Deere, so I would point you in that direction, but there are many good makes & models to choose from.MF made some good small tractors in the 60's & 70's. The older 10 & 20 series JD might also fill the bill. Having a JD background I would tell you to stay away from a JD 2010 as there were many problems.Live PTO is nice, but will cost more money. A two stage clutch will guive you the same results with less initial cost.The only implements needing that would be the mower,baler,combine.Tillage tools on that size acreage would be 2 bottom plow, 6-8' disc and an 8' drill.A small two row planter would work fine for you. I would suggest you have a co-op do your spaying for you.You will need wagons and a rake.I would also suggest you hire your harvesting done.Hope this helps & good luck.Wish I was closer,Id help you get started.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
