Interesting links, on the Farm equipment... am hoping to find something fairly close to the "Gulch". If our Nation hits the wall economically as I see it doing, it might be worth holding on to the $$$ and get what I need in all of the forced sales, then again, I want one acre pressed rototilled when the ground thaws. I might even hire out that work, and grab something, as only time will tell, when the SHTF.
So many plans, and only so much time! I'm well versed in the cussing department! I'm sure I'll be dusting off the old vernacular with gusto in the coming months!

The best idea is to hire the work out the first year, then you can ask at the feed store and the small 3 corner gas stations, that are out in the country.
Don’t pass up the small town waitress, she hears it all.
30 years ago, I could have gotten you a d-5 gas cat, for very little, if I have the number right, it was a very small 1925 cat, that was running, when a sink hole opened and it went down a few feet, not out of site, but more than an old and sick man could do to drive it out, or get a bigger cat and pull it out.
I wanted it, but Bill said NO.
LOL, I do have my horse drawn cultivator, sitting out there...
Bill grumbled and figured that I would never get a horse, as he took steps to see that I didn’t.
He wasn’t sneaky, when the man gave me a horse and told Bill to come pick it up, cause he had heard me say how bad I wanted one, Bill explained that we could not afford to take care of it,,,,,and then came home and told me what he had done.
So for 30 years, I haven’t been able to try it out.
He also did not allow me to have the fantastic seed thrasher, all kinds of wheels and pully’s on the side, huge, 2 stories tall and maybe 40 foot long, I wanted to paint the wheels in bright colors and call it art, as we did not have any grain growing........maybe he was afraid that i would want grain planted next.
This was on my friend Mary’s farm, they farmed there 60 years.
Don’t push yourself, to the point that you get sick, better go to the health food store and get some good vitamins and start taking them now...............
