I'd slip off to the JOP and get married and just have a BYOB party for the friends and family. You could buy a decent tractor and goodies for what you blow on the wedding. You'll still be married without the possibility of someone chiming in on the "does anybody know why these two shouldn't get married??". :shock:
Maine sounds like a good place to have a tedder. In your place, if I was only worried about taking care of the 3 horses and puttering with farm work. And knowing what I know now about starting small and picking up as you go. I'd get a decent, diesel tractor with 30-50HP, frontloader would be nice. Good mower (drum mower), tedder, and rake and see if someone nearby does round bales (small squares if you have the storage space and the energy/time to put them up) to run thru and bale up what you put up in windrows. Do that with the easiest/best half for hay and fence off the rough, uneven, hard to get at, or thinner area with a good electric fence. Section it off to rotate so as not to ruin anything and let the horses take care of it. Worse case, find an oldtimer to show you how to make haystacks and put the hay up like that. If it looks like too much for you and/or you don't have a market/use for all the hay, at least brushhog it and keep it in good shape so you can make hay later.
