Loving the herd life
Hi all! Hoping to pick some brains about the best way to get our farm going! We close in 2 weeks on a place with 55 acres, mostly wooded, with lots of trails. Long term, we plan to get an older tractor with a 5 point, and do all the things. But short term, we have a TON of expenses and need the cheapest (but still workable) band aid we can. We need to be able to mow some lawn (no having animals graze it isn't an option, my citified hubby wants some actual people-only yard space, lol). We also need to keep the trails maintained (they're currently manicured to perfection. it's really gorgeous). And finally, there are plenty of weeds to be dealt with. In particular, there is a section full of milk weeds and the like that I need to clear to set up our dry lot.
So I'm thinking a lawn tractor/mower for most of the work. A decent one ought to handle the grass and maybe even pull a wagon with buckets or hay if needed. and... something... for weeds? Traditional weed eater? Push weed eater? IDK!
What would you do?
