Hi Eugene, From my experience, whatever horsepower you think you will need, go up at least one notch in whoever's line you end up picking. You will always need at least a little more than you think you will. My next tractor is going to absolutely have a cab. I end up using mine when it is...

Hi future_vision, Where did you get that nice chart? I had no idea of what rocks weigh. I just try to move them and if they do not move, I try to appreciate them where they are. We grow a lot of big rocks on our farm in northern Vermont so I have a lot of experience with them.

We have both Stihl gas and electric saws. We used to have a small gas saw and the small Stihl saw. We found we had problems with the gas saw, it was getting old.

As we have just acquired 57 acres in Northern Vermont with plans on starting a small and, hopefully, low maintenance farm, we are seeking advise from all you experts on building a relatively inexpensive and low maintenance barn. Our idea for the barn to have misc storage, vegetable prep and...

Hello Everyone, My husband and I have just purchased 57 acres in northern Vermont with an 1800's very rustic cape house with the intention of light farming. The property has 9 acres of open and neglected meadow. As Extension Master Gardeners, we are pretty good at growing things. Now, we are...
