AND CLIMBING.

Just trying to start a fun thread.

I guess it also depends on the amount of land you tend to. So post your tractor dollars per acre. Might scare you. Mine is roughly $769. Just divide how much you've spent, by your acreage. Example $20000 divided by 26 acres = $769

I started out hoping to stayunder $15K, now at $20K and still need/want all kinds of new attachments. That's including the fact my father-in-law bought a creamy JD 5420 MFWD for well over 34K. Together we have over $55K worth now whereas 2 years ago we had nothing. All thanks to the great crew here for helping spend each others money so well.

If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!

My wife and my salary will keep me from getting to tractor heaven....Have Fun...Kyle

You need to qualify the acreage more --
rocks verses sand verses trees......

That way I can kid myself that I am not spending/spent /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif a lot of money.

The tractor figure is $612.50 per acre but since the tractor purchase is due to the chickens we raise, they should be figured in. We raise about 240,000 per year so the cost is only $.102 per bird. That doesn’t sound so bad. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
