When you live on a farm you need some stuff… know what I mean… You need tools, equipment, etc.  However, It is a good idea not to get too carried away, like I did.

One of the most stupid purchases I ever made was a tractor… yep, a tractor.  It was a 42 hp diesel.  Dumb, Dumb, Dumb for many reasons, but basically, I have a small farm and that was a big tractor for this size farm.

On the other hand, one of the best purchases was a small farm John Deere mower (we call it a tractor) and trailer.  Actually, the trailer was “free” when we bought the mower.  Best “free” thing ever.

Dump trailer. One of the best farm things ever…

When you have a farm, even a small one, you are always moving something from here to there.  Wood from the shed to the porch.  Poop from the stall to the to compost bin.  Hay from here to there.  You get the idea…  A wheel barrow will work, but can be a real pain, and does not always carry as much as you like.  This trailer has been the perfect size for our small farm.  Easy to manipulate and It will carry a decent amount for our operation.  So, if you have a small farm, get a trailer.  You will be happy you did.
