A tractor is definitely in our future, though for now I'm settling with a Cub Cadet garden tractor since all I need to do right now is mow grass. We won't have any livestock, but there's always a landscaping need here or there! Of our 30 acres, probably only about 10 would need to be mowed, and that's even pushing it a little. The rest is woods and water. Right now we've got a guy who cuts the hay for his livestock and we get a tax exemption for agricultural use since the value of the hay is at least $1000 annually. Once I get a bigger tractor, I'll probably just keep it all mowed myself. I'm definitely looking forward to making some diesel memories!
