Hi Buy the best newest stuff you can afford, If the NH mower has a conditioner on watch the rubber rollers they have a habit of peeling chunks off. those rollers are very expensive. Probably the same for any conditioners to. If you can't fix things your self maintenance is going to be expensive, on top of parts. Make sure anything you buy can be replaced easy if you find you can't get new or used parts, you need a back up budget just in case. To be honest to make money you got to spend money, running old stuff down time and bad weather is the worst things out there.
I just rebuilt a bed for a new idea 5212 disc bine. it was down over a week waiting for parts, the customer got china bearings which are junk and failing in a few hours (I didn't want to use them, but customers always right!) I got probably 40 plus hours at $45hr in dismantling an old worn rusty machine, cleaning parts and getting it back in the field, plus changing any more junk china bearings that fail. I told him at the start get hay custom cut or find another machine. He didn't want that, lost over a week and now it's cut just over a day and now sits as it rained. last week was dry. That mess has cost him some real good hay this year.
To be honest I can see you want to work with tractors and equipment, You do still have to make money(a good profit). Maybe you should consider trying to find a guy and drive for him at X$ an hour. He pays all the bills and deals with the problems with machines down and it rains and the hays wet moldy junk, that he can't sell if things go wrong. Farmings like blowing money on slots your going to loose more than you win most of the time, and alot tjhat goes wrong you can't control with management decisions. There are lots of guys with romantic dreams and Ideas go into farming not everybody survives, when they hit the real world. Good luck and I hope it works for you, if you go ahead with your plans. I think your maybe a younger guy like Bryce He's figuring out a lot real quick and gaining valuable experiences to

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
