More great info. Thanks guys.

Terracing is not going to work for the layout of the dam. I suppose it might have worked if built that way from the start, but it is not an option now.
You are right about the $$$$ outlay for that small acreage.

The cracked transmission housing issue is huge. Maybe farmerboybill, Joel, or another seller can comment on how frequent it is seen. Sounds like a deal killer, since Grillo must know about the issue to have a policy of not covering the problem. Too expensive to gamble on it.
Interesting re: Grillo and Caeb baler. Thanks again.
David Cockey:
Gas makes sense from a weight standpoint, but in my fantasy I would be using the machine for almost everything it can do, so diesel would pay off in the big picture.
Ok, I am going to have to rethink the whole thing. At this point animals are starting to get more attractive (not in that way). Maybe some Dorpers could keep the dam trimmed. Goats are too hard to keep contained, but I have heard good things about “hair sheep”.
If the animals work, then I can just use a CUT for the rest of the field. It may take a dedicated walk-behind sickle bar to get the immediate areas around the pond, but that would be cheaper than the Grillo. Not sure what to do with mutton, though.
