Well since i have spent a good portion of my life working on farm equipment and Hobby farming i have a vary good idea on what you need . And in todays market prices are up double of what they use to be on older equipment . When i was HOBBY farming i farmed with the junk that i found at sales that nobody wanted to start with . I made it into something that would work. But that was me . May i recommend that you get TWO tractors , ya some will say WHY ??? , well i started with just one and it did not take long to figure out that i needed two . The day i planted my 706 while plowing and then trying to find someone who could come help me . You can always find someone to drive a tractor but finding someone to take time and bring there tractor can be a problem . Myself i am All for the Farmall International line because this is what i like and know inside and out . For what you want to do a GOOD 806 D. and a good 706 D , (yes i said DIESEL and make it a German Diesel . The gassers are getting to be a real pain to keep running when your trying to work them even for me as i have always run the 706 gassers and with the fuel today you can not expect them to work hard with out major problems . also keep your horse power gap narrow and your tillage equipment to a size that if your big tractor happens to go down that your smaller tractor can also pull it . So say you do buy a 706-756 D and a 806-856 a 710-720 4x16 plow can be pulled by either as for a disc a 13 foot 370 is a vary good disc that either tractor can pull with duals , a good 510 drill or a 5100 drill will serve you well and there cost is not that high . a good J D 7000 corn planter in 4-6 row with either liquid or dry fert. can be had for around 2500-4500 bucks . as for hay equipment ya can not go wrong with New Holland . Then the other STUFF you will need a way to HAUL your grain . Now do you want trucks ?? gravity wagons ?? or do you have a one ton 4X4 and a goose neck dump trailer ?? As to corn picking well we still do some picking and it is a real pain parts for pickers are getting hard to come by . For a one horse operation ya can not beat and older smaller combine with a two or four row head. Or even a three row narrow if you are using a six row planter. On the combine thing i prefer the Massey line and have had good luck with them and they do a great job when set properly , i have had a 300 and a 410 and a 750 and yep all bought at sales needing some work . The 300 was bought for 650 bucks with out a cab and a used cab cost me 150 bucks got the two row corn head for 7.50 at a sale added a alt to the charging system off a 1970 Dodge dart for 35 bucks added lost of lites due to my night time farming and ended up doing LOST of custom work with that little 300 for guys like you to the tune of over 27000 dollars in the seven years i ran it doing small grain and corn . Lastnight while doing my trolling i saw three 550 massey combines and one 540 for under 5000 bucks . Oh wait that is more then i had in all my equipment when i started out .
