In Reply to: what size to get. posted by George Boothe on March 25, 2011 at 21:24:50:
Ok first off.. i have farmed most of my young life and know all to well about how hard it is to farm and raise animals. The township I am moving to is in the country and does allow livestock already checked. 2 acres for first horse and 1 acre for each additional large animal if I chose to have them. I have had farm animals before and know how much work they are.. and how much they eat.. the reason I budgeted $2000 for tractor is because i am building a house as well as putting in a well, septic system.....ect... and i have to agree, a $20,000 75 hp tractor is way too much for this property.. my grandfather had an old farmall he used on his 5 acre farm and it was just right but he farmed the whole 5 acres or almost all 5 acres except for where his house was. So I won't be moving back to the city anytime soon. My job pays me well enough and my side business keeps me busy so money for extra stuff once house and stuff is done will not be a problem. :? My original question was what size tractor would be right for this size property, not do you think i should have animals? do you think I can call it a farm? no offense meant.. I can not afford 100's of acres for my family right now.... and so for someone that has been confined to 1/3 of an acre the last 10 years and working hard to get some land to call his own..... yes to me a 5 acre parcel is a farm... or farmett.... what ever you want to call it it's big enough to do the things I want on. :) but thanks for your guys time .. in answering my question. seems like i need to go online ans see whats available with attachments.. in my price range. :wink:

In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders. Under loaded conditions the tractor seems to lack power and it belches black smoke out of the exhaust. For some reason it just doesn't want to start up without cranking and cranking the starter. All these conditions can be signals that your unit is in need of a tune up. Ok, so what is involved in a tune up? You say, swap plugs and file the points....now tha
