    Need with help with eroding stream in field

    That's how the "wetland laws" came about. Very similar to air pollution laws. People don't seem to remember the "tragedy of the commons". Air pollution once got so bad in many cities that air was acid and difficult to breath. Visibility was greatly reduced. Wetlands start with the damp spot in...

    Material costs rising- what would you buy now to hedge inflation

    Don't forget AVAILABILITY. We've recently seen supply lines for a wide variety of things collapse. That's why I mentioned appliances. If the OP KNOWS what they will want a washer/dryer bought now is a sure thing. I'm pretty sure "common" hardware, like wire and nails will be available. And...

    Material costs rising- what would you buy now to hedge inflation

    Many people make the mistake IMHO of building the house first, then the storage. Build some small storage first or buy a shipping container for more secure storage. Then fill it. People have been predicting another great recession "within 6 months" since 2019. With the rise of the $15/hr wage...

    Material costs rising- what would you buy now to hedge inflation

    New Purchase

    Ok, so like the old joke goes, we've established a price range. Keep it under $70 right? A MMM for one of the large B's runs about $4K. That would buy a decent ZTR. If your mowing is limited to the area around the house doing it with a tractor larger than a B would be problematic, lot's of...

    New Purchase

    In stock? As "not sold" or just available to try out? That's a key point because I read on here LONG wait times in some areas. The BX23 would be good, if you had a large barn and wanted it for clearing stalls :) But I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be good for the rest of your uses.

    New Purchase

    A big B at least. You failed to mention $$$$$ and new or used. Digging almost requires a backhoe, a 5 to 15 K option. Right now even used are expensive. Pre pandemic used could be bought for a little less, now even older tractors are expensive.

    What will you do with it at the end of the 2 years? Why do you think this crazyness is going to subside? $4850 seems kinda steep but it's delivered, you must be satisfied with it and are willing to put another $2.5 grand into it. I'd say buy it and get on with it.

    What trailer should I get for Kubota Tractor, and what should I pay?

    Basically it is a BAD time to need to buy a trailer, used or new. Steel prices are still high, lumber prices are back in nose-bleed territory and labor prices are skyrocketing, if you can find the labor.. Most trailers have about doubled in price. If this is for an "occasional" use, not tax...
