there are 3 currently sitting on a 55x80 foot lot in town that has a house, yard and 4 cars on it..... Don't know what that works out to though. Guess it means I need more land. ------------- Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment. From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance.

I had 1 (CA) or 3 total (a Cub Cadet and a 446 Case) when I had a mobile home in town. I now have 3 tractors and 3 garden tractors on 16 acres. Didn't Roger Welsch cover this in one of his books? I know better than to line them all up in one place.

I used to have 26 on one acre...then we bought 9 acres so had room to grow. Now I have 80+ on 12.8 acres....and about as many implements. It is nice to not have to switch implements....but keeping up with the batteries, tires, fuel and anti-freeze takes up a lot of time and $$$ LOL! ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

That question is confusing for me. I'm not sure how many tractors i have. the reason is Dads tractors are in my building and he likes when i refer to them as "the family tractors" so in total there are about 10 here. Then the land brings the same question. The FIL put my wifes name on the dead for a few acers then there are the rental propertys. So There is only 3 acres tillable that we own probably 6 acres total. But then if we add in the FIL's tractors ??? ------------- The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend? |

| The original comparison was always horsepower per acre. Way back when, it was assumed that two acres per horse was about right. I don't know how the comparison stacks up now that 100+ HP tractors are the norm and 1000 acres farms go along with them. |
