How many acres do you own/operate on?

pane056 · Jun 3, 2012

Hello;

We have 80 acres. Mostly woods with hills. We use a JD 3320 open station and it's been perfect. Loader work, back blade, bush hog, moving many trailers, maybe soon a backhoe.

We have a 3320 cab unit on order with mid ddrive oveer mower and front snowblower.

I'm glad everyone is continuing to post, it's interesting to see how many acres people have and what they use on it.

6 acres, mostly hardwood. Lots of water running through when it rains though so I have lots of ditchwork going on. Currently using a JD 2320 with 5' BB and 6' landscape rake, but hoping to score a 3320 TLB before too long. Got some stumps that need to get gone.

All you land barons have me jealous!!:licking: I have 8 acres, about half open and half wooded. There was 6 acres next to me that was sold a few years ago. I didn't even know it was for sale. We would have bought it immediately. I think about it every day. I have owned the place for 22 years. In '95 I bought a JD 445 for mowing and snowplowing/snowblowing. It has served me well but I always wanted a compact with a loader so, a year ago I bought a JD 2520. Boy does my property seem a lot smaller now!!

My wife and I just purchased 29 acres, consisting of 3 acres of lawn, 6 acres of pasture/field, 10 acres of tillable land, and 10 acres of woods (on a hill). Moving in on June 22

Robert,
Congratulations! What size tractor will you be using?

Thank you...we are very excited. I was going to buy a new John Deere 4720, but the owner of the property has a Kubota L3830 w/quite a few attachments and is giving it to me for a deal I couldn't pass up. The only negative aspect is that the Kubota is an open station, but I figure I will upgrade to the 4720 next year.
