My guess is few here use their tractor within city limits.

90% of my tractoring is city...

What say you?

Country - Floyd County, Virginia, USA - 210 acres of hilly mostly wooded land - don't have as many toys to play on as you do!

Lancaster County and about 1-1/2 miles to a small town (although "town" is sneaking up on us).

Yep... seen this a lot as cities expand or form.

Brothers tree farm is an Island of county and he can hunt and shoot and do AG burns.

City is on the other side of frontage road and parkland to rear...

Interesting topic.

1 acre 400 yards from city limits. Expected to be annexed 20 years ago, but haven't yet. Not sure why not. Our neighborhood couldn't organize a bake sale, let alone a legal battle. It's probably that they are all older homes of lower value that wouldn't generate any tax income and would cost $$ to provide sewer, water, fire, etc... hopefully it'll never happen.

We also have 20 acres further out in the county. That'll never be annexed anywhere, although the highway could be widened, I suppose. Maybe 10-12 hours tractoring per year out there.

When our kids were school-age, I did a majority of my tractoring inside city limits at their school, church, and little league ballpark. Probably 4-5 hours mowing/facilities maintenance average per week there VS only half an hour mowing at home.
