In Reply to: what size to get. posted by George Boothe on March 25, 2011 at 21:24:50:
Ok first off.. i have farmed most of my young life and know all to well about how hard it is to farm and raise animals. The township I am moving to is in the country and does allow livestock already checked. 2 acres for first horse and 1 acre for each additional large animal if I chose to have them. I have had farm animals before and know how much work they are.. and how much they eat.. the reason I budgeted $2000 for tractor is because i am building a house as well as putting in a well, septic system.....ect... and i have to agree, a $20,000 75 hp tractor is way too much for this property.. my grandfather had an old farmall he used on his 5 acre farm and it was just right but he farmed the whole 5 acres or almost all 5 acres except for where his house was. So I won't be moving back to the city anytime soon. My job pays me well enough and my side business keeps me busy so money for extra stuff once house and stuff is done will not be a problem. :? My original question was what size tractor would be right for this size property, not do you think i should have animals? do you think I can call it a farm? no offense meant.. I can not afford 100's of acres for my family right now.... and so for someone that has been confined to 1/3 of an acre the last 10 years and working hard to get some land to call his own..... yes to me a 5 acre parcel is a farm... or farmett.... what ever you want to call it it's big enough to do the things I want on. :) but thanks for your guys time .. in answering my question. seems like i need to go online ans see whats available with attachments.. in my price range. :wink:

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
