Yeah, I'm talking taxes and not purchase price. But, I have 7 of those 40's and it adds up fast. The house was purchased for $88,000 in 1988. Taxes were $1100 a year then, now they are $3800. If they pegged tax increases to the percentage of pay increase -- we'd all be much better off!

I'm guessing that LarryRB isn't farming that 11 acres as the taxes are higher than corn, beans or any legal crop I can think of!

So, when you guys going to VOTE OUT your set of bums?

Larry lives in a quiet, crystal-clear lakefront paradise out in in God's country. I live in a tiny little house in a crowded residential neighborhood. My garage is actually bigger (in footprint) than my house. And here I am paying more in property taxes than you are out there for a large mega-property!!!

Larry can afford it. I can't. And there is no getting rid of our corrupt, one-part political system here in Taxachusetts that gets away with murder year after year. I'm headed straight to New Hampshire... just as soon as my ARM's low fixed rate period comes to an end. With my modest semi-retired person's income now, refinancing and staying here in Taxachusetts is simply out of the question.

Oh Boy... Yet another vote for two (not three) axles. My brilliant idea is getting squished here rather badly.

Took the advice of the majority here... and this morning I ordered four brand new upgraded tires and rims for the 10K equipment trailer... same ones I got for the dump trailer. Lots of money for all these new 16" 80-profile "Load Range E" tires... but I like the idea of the 40% load safety factor, at least on wheels and tires.

So no third axle.

Another brilliant idea is dead.

So it goes.
