It sounds a lot like the same situation my wife and I started out with 34 years ago. We have a small farm and had and still do have horses. My wife and I were 4H leaders for about 12 years and all 4 of our kids went through the horse program in our county. We raised a few cattle mostly for ourselves and sold the extra meat to be able to buy more calves. I bale our own hay with a couple old Farmalls and an old New Holland baler. We cut some hay from our field and do a couple neighbor's fields keeping all the hay and giving the owners 40% of what the hay is worth off the field. They don't raise any animals so want the cash instead of the hay. Of course, you will want to keep the hay. I agree fully with most of the posts here that you have it cut on shares and save your money to buy good used equipment later on. You must not get in debt and get overwhelmed so much with payments when you are just starting out as a new couple. It is hard enough without that over your head. I wish you and your husband to be the best of luck and enjoy your farm as I had enjoyed mine.
