thanks, I picked up just over 3 acres, with road frontage and easements on two sides of which takes a slice out of some my land. the main part measures about 200' x 500' of which about a third is planted in grapes, still clearing the other part. then there is an "L" part thats about 100' x 600' that slopes down a light hill that is full of cedars ( free posts!) that need cutting. At some point I would like to put a 24 x 40 pole barn there but need to pay off some bills first.
Slowly collecting wine making equipment for the future harvest next year if I can beat all the apposing elements. Sometimes I wonder " what have I gotten my self into?" It will all be good in the long run.
This past spring I swaped a Farmall M ( that came with the property) for a Ford 8N with a brush hog. the 8N needed, and needs some work but got it running to keep most of the grass down. Last year I just used a riding lawn mower of my dads, but was afraid I would tear it up too bad. This years heat has kept me away , so the grass has gotten a little more out of hand than I would like.
