Well, I prefer to have money in a market, a hay pile, or a nice set of cows that are any color except open. But, the Mrs. and I living right on the ranch now and getting a little bigger means we will have to have some sort of equipment. Dad has tractors taken care of for moving hay and snow in extreme weather. I'll lay out what I need each to do, then y'all might chime in with opinions/photos/experience.
Truck -
- Pull a 20ft steel trailer with some stock on board on rare occasions (don't care diesel or gas)
- Bounce the pastures with big square/round on board
- Be handy to move feed, haul various loads in the bed, handle up to 1 ton tote of feed
- Easy for the Mrs. to get used to and handle
4wheeler -
- Cheap and easy to repair at the home shop
- Lightweight for running fence and checking water, enough room to carry some wire/pliers and a couple salt blocks/bags
- Something that can drag a little light sled/trailer around the place
Thanks!
