to downsize my Equipment inventory. I am in my mid 60's and have spent the last
45 years running a 5 generation family business. Have owned and operated various
machines since I was a teenager and have significant hearing loss that comes with
that.
I would like to thank the community a head of time for any insight on various pieces
of equipement available today

Hi Ted,
Would you be willing share with us just where "Cedargrove" is,...... by adding your location to your profile?

Hey. Just a question that comes to mind. As to covering Evergreens in the winter, do they not require sunlight?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum. Since you're recently retired and looking to downsize your equipment, I don't understand what insight you're looking for. Having retired from being a grower implies that you're either getting out of the business or plan to do it only on a hobby scale. Or maybe do something else entirely. Let us know what your future plans are and we'll share what we know. Otherwise, don't really know what direction to head.

Welcome to TBN! A great place for info and help.
I also live in Cedargrove..... in New Mexico.... I do not think we are in the same place. No nurseries around here. Are you looking to sell equipment or buy equipment?

ALTIITUDE - Tractors lose 3% of engine power output for every 1,000' altitude increase, over 1,500' Sometimes twenty posts will be made advising on tractor horsepower, then we find OP is a 6,500 feet altitude and is considering a low power, naturally aspirated tractor.

WEATHER - ESPECIALLY SNOW - Blowing snow and mowing are the two tasks that require considerable engine power. If we know an OP is in Buffalo, NY rather than Key West, FL snow needs are apparent.

WEATHER - Large swathes of the country have a continental climate, four seasons, with great temperature variations between winters and summers.
Areas near the coast have varying maritime climates.

PRICING - Tractor and implement pricing and dealer service pricing varies a great deal. Lowest prices are usually in the south. Prices along the west coast and in the northeast are usually highest.

SALES TAX - Some states exempt agriculture and forestry equipment from state sales taxes. Florida is one example of liberal ag sales tax exemptions.

IMPLEMENTS - Availability of implements brands are regional, not national. ie: CountyLine, Rural King, etc.

SOIL AND GROWING SEASON - Whether game food plots or market crops, soil and length of growing season(s) in important. Soil type influences tire selection.

USED TRACTORS - When the OP posts a location, OP is often referred to good used tractors nearby or provided local tractor listings from Craig's List, eBay, TractorHouse, Machinery Pete or other sites.
