Another Cherry Tractor Buyer

[Rngr275]

I thought I should make the introductions before I start bugging and asking questions. My family and I live in the Fingerlakes region of NY. We purchased an Amish farm in the summer of 2012 and have been making it our home since. We have 65 acres with about 6 of that being pasture. We wired and added electric to the house but we live Off Grid (Solar Electric). Also, put in a septic system so I don't have to use the outhouse in January (not fun). We are hobby farmers and raise sheep and pigs. Both of which are rare breed animals (BabyDoll Sheep, and KuneKune Pigs). The animals are my wifes thing and I am the support team ( along with my 2 kids). Being the support team has lead me to the conclusion that a tractor could make my "Support" work easier or at least a little more fun. Which is why I am here and have been luking for a number of months. I will be buying soon and have some specific questions which I will post in the appropriate sections. Well there you have it.... very nice site you have here with very knowledgable people.

Sorry for the long intro....

Welcome from PA, I grew up in NY, just south of Watkins Glen, beautiful area, but I don't miss the winters or the high taxes! This is a good place to get the info you need to make an informed tractor buying decision.

Welcome,beautiful area around the Finger Lakes.Don't forget snow removal along with your other chores.Check to see what the neighbors are using.
On another note;we have lots of Amish and they never sell to English in this area ,only other Amish.
