@Latestarter, here are some prices back in 2014. Might give you a base.

OUCH! By the time I had the implements it would cost me more than the tractor with implements by a rather wide margin.

Holy price tags! Maybe I'm underestimating what those can do.. But that seems extreme. Or maybe I'm just cheap. That's likely. Gotta ask my husband about those, he'll know whether they're worth the money or not!

I paid about 15000 for our John Deere with FEL and then another couple thousand for the box scraper. We already had the tiller and auger and backhoe from an old Ford 1500 that we sold. I got 0% interest financing for 5 years. I don't mine financing with a deal like that. The bobcat I bought cash when we re-financed our house.

Hope everyone up north beinh affected by this winter storm is doing OK... @samssimonsays & @misfitmorgan come to mind initially. The front passed through here starting about 6:30am. Heard some thunder then saw some lightning flashes then heard the rain start so I jumped out of bed and call Mel inside so I wouldn't have wet, muddy dog to deal with later, then went back to bed and tried to get back to sleep... no dice on that. So anyway, it's ab out 20 degrees cooler than it was yesterday so I wore my flip flops out on the back deck to use the spa... Didn't think anything of it and kicked them off right next to the spa and climbed in. After the 1st 1/2 hour I saw Mel over on the lawn chewing on what I thought was a piece of firewood... Ya... no... it was one of those delicious flip flops.

He is almost 2 years old and hasn't messed with any clothing, shoes or slippers for over a year... Grrrr... <sigh> Oh well they were a size too large and uncomfortable so I was going to replace them anyway.

Got some much needed rain here this morning but it was pretty much over by lunch. I'd hoped it would last through the night and end tomorrow. I believe we got about an inch here. Maybe a little more.

Hahahaha gotta love the sudden and random destroyer mode they can fall into!

Thank you for the thoughts! I made it home safely. So did my husband. hope y'all get some more rain!

Don't you just love them more when they chew on stuff

It's alright, once you start getting a "farm" put together you can kiss your flipflops goodbye! Haven't worn them since we started farming.

I cant stand it when people want to a visit (you know, a FARM) in flipflops

I used to wear flip flips a lot farming... My husband always gave me a hard time. Then one day my herd queen stepped on my toe and twisted around and cut a huge slice in my toe. Ouch!! No more flip flops!

I love wearing flipflops. My dad always use to warn me not to go into the barn or pasture with them. I got stepped on by a horse and almost all of our goats while wearing flips and I still do it. My dad always says, I told you not to, Will you ever learn. I probably won't.
