And after two days of hard work, Spud the mights Kubota that could, is put to bed all dirty just as it likes to be!

That little machine continues to be the most robust thing I have ever purchased. It just roars to life, works all day and goes to bed with not a hint of a complaint. Well done Kubota! Well done!

So here's something interesting.

Kat just mentioned that she feels she would like to quit working and spend the rest of her's and my years together.

OK, tracking so far... She says we could do that if we built a nice comfortable home on the farm and moved there and sold this monstrosity!!!!!

I mean, I never thought about it, but man, it is actually possible.

I pay $6200 in taxes a year here, and $500 a year down there

My Home owners insurance here is $2600 annually. Down there, on a, say, $250K home it would be maybe one forth that amount. My mortgage payment up here is X.XXX.XX.XXX, well, it's a handful. Down there, I may have to borrow some money to build, or, after selling this place, I may not.

My retirement income is pretty healthy with my doing zero-point-nothing, so I could simply give her an allowance of what she makes now minus work expenses like foor, dry cleaning and so forth

Don, put the foundation in this year. Next year frame it and get it enclosed. Third year complete it.....

Do the majority yourself and sub out what you don’t want to do. Maybe take a couple years to finish inside, what does it matter?

I never really thought about it, but the numbers flat out work. It is possible to sell this place and move down there and have a mortgage free brand new house on our 91 acres.
We are talking about it at the moment. I'm getting an idea of what kind of house she wants. We both agree that smaller and cozy and pass on the big house thing. Our current home is over 7,500 sq ft counting all spaces under a roof and is just way too friggin big. It is costly, and after paying for it, I'll have a country/neighborhood home in a plastic setting. Can't p_ss off the back deck, can't shoot, can't let the dogs run, have to mulch and keep up appearances, and I am just not so good with any of that

Down there life is real. If you don't make or build it you don't have it. Farm life is just the best. And with the income we enjoy and no mortgage or payments to speak of, it could really be nice.

I'll post up as we work down this decision trail, see where it leads.

Sounds like an exciting prospect for sure Don. You’ve got plenty of people here that would be more than happy to have a work party on occasion to watch you hurt yourself and then finish a project or two.

Smart woman there. Maybe mine will do the same. That is my goal.

Plus it is getting scary here, people are leaving in droves. All the time I hear people talk about or said they just bought out of state.

Starting to look at kit homes now. Little until I get there, but I have the toy hauler.

Funny you should say that. My grandpa's brother moved out to Sacramento when he was young. Raised a big family. Now every one of 3 generations raised in CA are now in Texas, Nevada, Utah and Idaho.

Sounds like a fantastic plan. I can relate to the large house that is too friggen big. Especially when all the kids fly the coup.

I have always lived and purchased property based on the school system and school environment. (Drugs, Libtards, etc.)

What would you do with the pre rangers and school options? Football, wrestling..?

One of them will enlist next year and depart home the year after. The "smallest" has 4+ years left in the chicken coup. He loves the farm but is also proud of his home closer in. But in their spirit is the early morning mist of a Kentucky country morning. Leaving them a paid off low cost home in the country replete with barn and tractors would be the stuff of dreams. They just have to figure out how to divvy it up.

I see this as a multi year plan

Logically, the first step has taken place and should be followed by discussion.
Then make the decision to do it
After that we can work to develop the property to be more than just the occasional farm thing
We have to make a bunch of decisions not the least of which is the "When"
That would be a "Range" date such as summer of 2021 or something like that.

Building backward from that we have the time we place our current home up for sale, prepping it, moving out and all of that
I think the best way to transition would be to completely move out of this house, then begin to fix it up for the market, then let the process go as it would. Meanwhile move forward on the creation of our permanent home. That will take a bit of a winfall of cash to nurture the process, but I think it falls in the "doable" category.

Start cutting and drying lumber now!!!

We can relate to country living, only on four acres but ain’t no one in my neighborhood throwing a fit about the weeds that take over the lot from time to time.... of course our yard and garden are mostly weed free :)

Good choice boss of Don!!! Look forward to seeing this come to life in the years to come.

So we did our (late) spring clean up of the place this past weekend.

Wife was out mowing everything with her 2720 John Deere, and two things happened:
1. It did not break down
2. She mowed a baby skunk

No, the momma skunk was not impressed. The other youngins went and scattered all over making it problematic walking anywhere around my buildings.

The Pre Rangers do what Pre Rangers do, they pulled weeds and sprayed stuff along with "Sticking" (Sticking is the endless gathering of sticks and branch sheds from a winter season or post thunderstorm)

My camper had seventy six million little mouse foot prints on my fuzzy blanket on the bed, Yuk!

Nice productive day. I also hooked up the front destroyer of all things living to the Kubota and exercised that for 45 minutes. Then I fired up Chief and dug a little while in the pond. Batteries: Good, Winter haze: gonned, Oil: Recirculated

Update: Spent a few days cleaning up the place.

So this year, i have not bush hogged the fields as this was the first year of actual hay production. The deal was that my neighbor would come in and hay off my fields, for free. He gets the hay for his cows, I get the fields cleaned off. Well, it's the middle of July and nothing has happened yet. The red clover has all gone to seed already. I believe the best time to cut it is before that happens.

As a result my place looks like a wilderness, so in spite of the unharvested fields, I started in cleaning out the fencetows of undergrowth. I made a lot of progress, logging hours on Spud pulverizing trees and chopping up limestone. Of course as soon as I started bush-hogging around the barn which is being dismantled, the bush hog broke, throwing a blade which it broke in half. And of course because i own a small John Deere tractor, that, too is broken down and unable to mow grass. 116 hours total on that thing and it is always broken down. I am so tempted to just stop paying for it and toss it in a fire.

In the plus side, I got all the machines refuelled (A cool $300!!!) and a lot of crap cut away from the edges of the fields. Now, in an imaginary world where I own a moser that works, I would be able to mow without driving through a bunch of overhang. But I live in a world where John Deere tractors actually exist, and therefore world crop production is stifled and should the green POC's continue to be sold, we may be looking at world-wide famine!

But that Kubota is a beast. Not one failure, save the detracking when it was new. It just gets beat on and shoves the beating right back into the trees mercilessly.

Of course with no pics, none of this happened, so the post is all theoretical for now...

Well, another pic-less update.

The farmer was not able to cut my fields for hay, pity really because they would have produced a bunch of round bales.

So I got stuck bush-hogging it off and mowing some areas. Two days and I am about 75% complete

Probably head down there soon and finish. Then it's going to be full on to finish the pond out. Heck I'm already mowing around it with all the weeds...

He also has a heavy equipment company. I guess they were covered up with work...never came around to harvest anything. Too bad to waste the hay, but this is an abundant year, crops are all doing well.

Yea, darndest thing. I asked a couple of the local farmers, but no one wanted any extra hay.

Now up where I live we have horse farms all around and they buy hay bales. But none of them could afford to send the equipment 60 miles south to harvest mine.

In the end it matters little, I just have to ride around on a tractor for a couple days and then, voila' my place looks great again.

Based on my experiences and what I am willing to do going forward I think I will leave the front just looking like a big lawn and mow and use it. On the other fields, I am thinking about putting a couple rows of shrubbery. Put in sprouts and sell trees and shrubs in five years. I want a row of lilac for the pharmacy/beauty industry, and I want to raise koi in my ponds. Having gone through the koi experience in the past, those things are big money. A couple more ponds and I'll have all I need. I think I'll fence one field for a cow or two, a mule and have some chickens walking about.

Finally, I think I may set out a space for landscaping boulders/rocks which I am constantly unearthing and also sell rough sawn hardwood planks, unique stuff.

My real dream for the place is to build in a big pond in the valley between two spurs on my place and atop one of those ridges build a small white church. Just for folks to use if they need to meet with their creator, for weddings and special gatherings like men's and women's ministries.

It's the quoffee coming out, put me in a mellow mood...

well if that's the case, he will need a bigger tractor, he will need a hay cutter, he will need to get a hay rake, he will need either a round or square baler, if he wants the hay to last any sort of time (so he can make money off of it)he will need to get a baler that can wrap the bale's, lets not forget about the hay wagon for the square bales or the trailer for the round bales, he will also need to get a bale tine attachment to fit the lift arms of the bigger tractor he will have to get....     :popcorn:

You all forgot the rework and fixes.  With that much more equipment he will run over that many more things.   A minimum of five cameras a season at least.

That's almost true

No telling how many different cameras have been used by me to post pics here...a dozen?

And so, I staged the purchase of the Kubota in such a way as to inhibit my desire to buy anything else. But in a couple years when I pay it off, I may be looking for a 75-90 HP tractor and a 10 ft bush hog. Lets make it something with an air conditioned cab with direct tv, a microwave and a maintenance plan that texts some mechanic the moment it gets a scratch to mobilize the fleet and get it repaired!

They do not make combination machines such as that.  Once you cut the hay, you have to let it dry to an extent, flip it with the rake and let the other side dry.  Once its dry you can bale it, once it comes out the back end of the baler it gets kicked off onto either the field or a trailer.

He could go the AG BAG route, but things get heavy. 

If I never have to pick up another square bale for the rest of my life I will be happy!  I spent way too much time in a field, on a trailer and in a loft stacking hay!   You guys bring back some rough summer months memories!

Count me out. I also spent a couple years moving 100lb bales, back when I weighed close to a hundred, soaking wet.

As opposed to now?  Like what 120?? Lol.

And yes I’ve slung a few bales but usually only when visiting relatives.

Brings back many memories about summer work. Spent many summers hauling hay from the fields to the barns. Worked for 4 or 5 farmers and they usually got two cuttings each year. Usually three or four of us working together. Good thing was the bales only weighed around 75 lbs or so. When you screwed up and lost a trailer load it was still a lot of quick work getting it all loaded back up and headed for the barn again. No child labor laws and 2 buck an hour was good money.

Correct that specific system, but they also have it to where you can "roll" wet hay and put it in a bag.  I will find that system.

they use a "trench" system also for silage also.

Dave, I'll field this one first.
Bro, much as I'l like you to have that machine, I think I had just better keep it.
I used it the past couple days and it's just too good for what I need. It looks rough but sure runs well. That isuzu engine is just a tank. Second point that I have learned through the years and has settled in as wisdom, is take care in selling something you own to a friend. We all know where that can go. So, sorry ma friend but l think it should stay in the Tuck

Ken, just got back a couple hours ago from three days down there. What a time we all had. A few days before this visit, the guys on the security team and I went down for a weekend of fellowship. During the first night, Jimmy, the gentleman who owns hundreds of acres surrounding me came down with $1,000 worth of fireworks. He owns a local fireworks store. Suffice it to say it was quite a night!

THis past few days was field work, pond work, bush hogging, weapons play, coyote hunting, road work and a lot of good eating. The Pre-Ranger sighted in his new Remy 30-06, shot my M4, his .45 and everything else he could get his hands on.

The place is looking good:
