[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 623958, member: 1682"] So true. Luckily, I join the antique equipment club (not sure how you can make a buck at running new top equipment with bank money) and am the proud owner of worthless land if rented out. If it was all rented out, I may get $1500 annually, but I could only buy 1/10 of the hay I need with that money, and not even pay the taxes. Running a low horsepower tractor that is good on fuel (a gallon an hour) also helps to keep you in the black. Cost comparisons fluctuate greatly. Example, we crop 220 acres and spend about $1200 in fuel doing it. One of the neighbours doesn't even crop half of that acreage and spent $2400 on fuel this year. Difference? We do it with a 60 HP 2WD and 479 NH 9' Haybine while the neighbour uses a 120 HP International 2WD with duals and a 16' CaseIH Hydraswing Discbine. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
