Our house is about 12 miles away, set on about 4.5 acres, mostly wooded. Nick View Quote Why not make some hay off that field? If you don't have animals, I'm sure you could sell it for a nice profit. Little bit of work, and you could have the annual property taxes paid. Plus, there might be some tax benefit if put the land under some ag program. Just thinking outloud. Looks like a beautiful piece. |

I picked up some stuff for the mini-tractor to help with some landscaping work at the rental house the other day. Now I just need to get some tire chains and a dry day to get some work done.
Attached File The guy had the back blade and sleeve hitch assembly listed on the ol' Craigslist for $75 combined. This thing is my "budget" garden tractor, between the initial purchase ($250) of the tractor, belts, spindles, and blades to rebuild the mower deck ($100), and now this, I think I'm doing pretty good. |
