If your land is ag classified you should have no trouble running that tractor from 5am to dark. If it isn't ag, you shoyuld still be able to run it at otherwise 'reasonable' hours. Check out the ordinances in your area.. chances are, that your tractor is legal, and their loud music isn't.... wouldn't that be a surprise to them. It is a pain living next to a 'bad' neighbor. When we bought our property a few years ago, it is mostly horse farm in this area, and we are in a horse community, but the back side of our property backs up to spruce creek.. a retirement development here. I guess the people moving in didn't do their homework, and weren't aware of the AG land behind them.... The guy directly behind my property used to be a habitual complainer.. Once he even called the fire dept. on me and said that I started a fire in their community, when my fire was really on my property, and all legal.. i had all the setback requirements, I was burning in a container with a wire mesh cover, had buckets of sand ( in our area, if you burn, you have to have buckets of sand, water or a fire extinguisher nearby... they also like to see heavy equipment ( tractors ) in the area if it is a larger burn pit, etc ). I was out tending the fire, and the fire dept pulled up in force.. on their side of the property.. looking for the fire. In the end, even though I was in the right.. they made me put it out. They quoted some law that if they show up to a fire, it has to be extinguished no matter what, etc.... pain in the but neighbor. I fixed him good though. from that day on, I moved my maneuer/compost pile to that back section, and also put my hog pens ( 2 ) and chicken coops ( 2 ) and turkey roost ( 2 ) back along that fence.... I hope he likes the 5am rooster alarm clock..... I can't hear it , as it is so far back on the property.. but it is probably only 90ft to his door.... hope he loves the mid-day aroma as well... That's what he gets for starting out the hard way.. I would have been more than happy to have the pens a little closer to the barn.. but he made the decision for me. I havn't heard a peep out of him since. I did get bullied a bit one time from the development thugh.. But I had their number too. When I put up my back fence, i put it 5' off the property line, so that I could weedeat and maintain my fence, and not be walking on their property. One day their security guys ran me off 'my' property while I was weed eating. I called the law, and the law called their maintenance office... shortly therafter, their main office called appologizing.... Perhaps you need chickens and hogs? soundguy
