Where do you live

[bikerdib]

After belonging to this forum for a while, I got to wondering; where do most of you live. I wish I could do a poll but the forum isn't set up for polls (at least I couldn't find a way).

1. Do you live in the city (over 2000 people) with a place in the country where you use a tractor?

2. Do you live in the city (over 2000 people) and have enough land that you use a tractor there?

3. Do you live on a large place in the city (over 2000 people) and have a place in the country; use a tractor at both?

4. Do you live within the city limits of a small town (under 2000 people) but have enough land that you use a tractor there?

5. Have a large place in a small town (under 2000 people) and a place in the country; use a tractor at both?

6. Do you live in the country with enough land that you use a tractor there?

7. Do you live in a small town (under 2000 people) and have a place in the country where you use a tractor?

Interesting question - quick answer is 6, but please forgive my long reply as it is not that straight forward :laughing:

We live in Spain - although originally from England. We are in a rural area, and just about have enough land ourselves to justify a small tractor. However our business is machinery based, primarily for agriculture but also some construction and lots of road maintenance (lots of dirt roads around here) - we have around 200 contracts for land management and also pick up lots of "off contact" work, which justifies our machinery...

Back in the UK we had a 700 acre (450 cow) dairy farm with woodland, shooting and the River Usk - I love it here in Spain, but really do miss having my own land to play with

Says it best for me.

Isn't it funny, I forgot to include my own option, #7.

I fixed it.

1. I live in the city (over 2000 people - Houston) with a place in the country (70 miles away) where I use a tractor?

#6 for me, with 120 acres to play around on.

 

[bigbull338]

6.with alot of land for the tractor to work on.

I hate to throw a kink into your question, but I live just outside of a "city" of about 4,000 people. I would hardly call it a city though, more like a small town.

But I digress, I would fit into #6.

# 6 for me. I have 18 acres so it's not near as much as some on here but I have a hard enough time keeping up with it. Just ordered a new Kubota L3240 from Barlows today to replace the old 8n so it should be a lot easier to get my work done.

#3 - modified. Live in town, place in country, with other family members also living in town. Bring small tractor in town where and when needed.

I don't 'technically' live in a town, and I only own a little over 2 acres. But then again.......some on here say I don't 'technically' own a 'tractor' either. :thumbsup::laughing::confused2: :drink::dance1:

 

[idaho2]

#1, 409 miles to the 58 acres.

Moderators, I accidental put this thread in the buying/pricing forum. Would you please move it to owning/operating.

And to everyone else, it's interesting to see how far some will go just to "play" with a tractor.

6. Do you live in the country with enough land that you use a tractor there?

Got tired of driving to the farms on weekends and 16 years ago built on one of our family farms. We live on 331 acres and have a couple other small farms.

I think #7 fits for me. We live in on one acre in a subdivision near a very small town. We have 10 acres six miles away where we keep and use our tractor, although I bring it to my house on occassion for maintenance and my son brings it home to stir up his mulch pile and a few other small jobs.
