My Poplars and Austree Hybrids rows are 10 feet apart, with trees spaced 8 feet between. I have 3 old tractor and while they do give me a headache once in awhile, I learn more mechanically each and every day having them. Overall they are reliable if maint. is kept up. I have a Ford 4000 gas (no cab, 55 hp. 3 point, 540 pto) that does all of my tilling, mowing, blading etc. A 656 IH gas Hydrostatic which is my favorite (Full cab, 65 hp and the hydrostatic drive is amazinnnggg, no 3 point, 540 pto) that I feed the horses with. Lastly I have a 1750 Oliver gas (Full cab, 85 hp, 3 point, dual 540/1000 pto) that I use for baling and snow removal. All have their place and use. I have had the thought of getting rid of all 3 and getting a newerish ride, but these old ones don't owe me a thing and are cheap overall to maintain. Paid $2700 for the Ford, $4000 for the hydro, and $3700 for the Oliver. There is quite a few nice used rides on Bisman right now 40-75 hp utility tractors for under 15k. I will say, new with warranty is quite a good feeling though I'd bet. If you have the money and would enjoy it and USE it, do it up!</blockquote>
