Agreed, something aimed at the homesteader/hobbyist gardner/farmer. But, I do like seeing folks older/restored tractors! Myself, I'm only doing a small raised-bed plot that's all of 16' x 4', so I'm trying for maximum efficiency from every square foot available.


gonehuntin,

check into this technique for small areas:

Another method (I hope you're not a Francophobe, every once in a while they come up with some good stuff, like small bore smokeless cartridges):

Good luck with it all.

PS, old restored Ford/IH/JD tractors, like my uncle had on his little 5 acre place are cool. Some of the combines in the wheat growing are I live in could fit about a dozen of those under them it seems tho, and that's way too big for my interest.
