Makes me think we need a farmer ping list.

I'll second that. Even though I'm not a farmer, per se, I have acquired 30 acres that I need to maintain. I know absolutely nothing about tractors but figure I'd better learn -- it's really hard to get tractor service around here.

In regaurds to post 29, stick around we will make a farmer out of you. As for tractor service, the best service is the kind you do your self. Because sure as shootin its going to break down at the most critical time. You have to know how to fix it yourself, or at least know when it does not sound right. 30 acers is alot to take care of and will take a good amount of time. But can be enjoyable and profitable.
