I bet many of us are faced with these thoughts, and I'm curious to know how everyone's handled it or what you would do.
I just moved onto new property and also have my first tractor. This combination puts me in position to need lots of implements. My neighbor also just moved in, however, he has at least 6 or 8 implements, some of which I will need at some point.
It feels silly and wasteful for neighbors to both spend money on an implement that is only used annually or even every several years. This is why I started thinking it would be nice to share with each other. Problem is, he has everything to share, and I have nothing at the moment.
I've considered approaching him and asking if he'd like to share implements, and if so, what sorts of things is he interested in that I might purchase.
He has...post hole digger, disc harrow, chain harrow, rear blade, shredder. I have box blade. I was thinking of offering to buy a "communal" scoop, moldboard plow and carryall. Maybe even a log splitter.
Any comments? have you found that this works out usually, or makes bad neighbors? We'll be neighbors for 20+ years.
