[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1357163, member: 9096"] We have 4.. 30hp Leyland 154 gas job (30hrs/yr), excellent for cultivating and seeding, Massey 165 that does the slightly heavier cultivating and most of the haying work (100-150 hrs/yr), IH 684 that does plowing, discing and bale picking (100hrs/yr), and finally the old Ford County 90hp 4wd.. takes 10 acres to turn it around, but if you want a monster for subsoiling, skidding and manure/slop scraping, etc you'll be hard pressed to stall it out (20hrs/yr).. We also have a JD350B track loader with hoe attachment, it probably sees about 50hrs/year. It does most of the compost turning and loading. The great thing about this is I can replace any one of them for about $5K or less, I don't overwork any one of them or hour any of them out.. if one breaks (hey, they're old!) I have another similar enough in size to finish the job [/QUOTE]
