just an update.
I haven't bought a tractor yet, things are kinda on hold for the time being. The neighbor right behind my property has put his up for sale so I have been looking at it instead. It is 16.37 acres that connects to my 5 and to another road. (I would rather have the land than the pole barn and tractor if I could swing it.) I know if I do buy the property I will probably need a bigger tractor than I originally thought, so I am falling back to see what turns out. I think the neighbor is "fishing" right now because his price to out of sight and twice the going rate of land in our area and his property accessment. He knows I am interested, but not at that price. I know if I get the 16 ac. I won't have to worry about someone builidng right behind me anytime soon.
I do appreciate all the insight and help that has been given so far. I will try to keep everyone updated.
Thanks again for your assistance.
