The best advice yet. What has scared me from the beginning is Diana's knowledge of machinery. She has admitted that she is new to this and is trying to learn (which is good). I don't think the thing for her to learn about farm machinery with is an antique tractor. They can be quite dangerous to someone who has never run one before. I think the pickup, bale mover, flatbed compo would be about perfect for her. Lets her move snow while in a nice warm cab instead of out in the open, she can move her bales, she'll be able to pull her trailer behind the truck, plus have another vehicle to take to town on bad days.

I would suggest that she not give up on finding someone to custom bale her acreage. There is no way that she will be able to make it cost effective for her to do it herself, even if she starts with junk equipment. Find someone that is in the actual business of custom baling. They will take care of you. Don't press some farmer that doesn't want to do it into baling your hay. That is where you will get into trouble. Just find someone that custom bales and leave all the headaches over timing and repairs to him. Then you can take care of your goats and other animals.

Most trucks that have the bale movers on them have flatbeds. It just makes it work much easier. You are able to see the bale much easier. It would also be a plus for you as you wouldn't have to lift things as far if you decided to haul something.

Like you said above, I would consider selling the horses, especially since they aren't being used at all. Get some pigs or a calf or two and have some good eating instead.
