That's frightening...Body in White
Body in Flight
Nice looking trailer.I voted flat bed car hauler. I have not had one in some 8 years or so as my old one rotted away under a cedar tree. I just bought another for a bunch of money (I live somewhere else now with no Cedar tree) I am now working on winch purchase/install etc... This trailer is all I need.

I bought a new Cub Cadet ZT 50 last year after my Yazoo didn't want to start. I love the Cub Cadet it's fast but the Finish cut sucks. The Yazoo with a 61 inch deck 22 horsepower front mount cuts the lawn like a carpet. And the nice thing is I can get up under the bushes with it. Using the Cub Cadet zero turn I have to finish up with a weed wacker where I didn't have to with the front mount Yazoo.
I did buy a Kubota l245dt 4x4 diesel mini tractor with a frontend loader the other day and I now have my 6-ft Bush Hog on it. Have not tried it out yet. Got it for mowing the pastures. I have 20 acres.
One of the handiest pieces of equipment you can get for the farm is a skid steer. It is equal to having 10 people help you. I'm going to convert my bush hog to a front mount hydraulic powered mower for my case 1845c.
Planning on buying miniature highlands? They’re pricey but dang if they ain’t adorable!! We’ve only got 4 acres where we live now (down from 165 at our last place) and I’m not about to mow it all every week, so we plan to fence 2-3 acres of it and buy 2 miniature highlands. That’s a real nice property you got there, and if you can add that other 20 acres, you’ll have about the perfect farmette! I’m slightly jealous!
One of my patients raises goats, his sell for around 10k. It’s a damn goat, crazy. He said his wife’s friend sold a goat for 27k?! What the hell! I got into the wrong profession apparentlyYou have firewood. Bad fence for cattle. Cattle eat grass, then you eat the cattle. Check out raising high end Boer goats for FFA projects. Good ones bring $$. Put wife in charge of goats. No one buys anything but a Z Turn to mow lawns now days. Yep get a loader with the tractor. Used fork lift is handy.

I use a 60" zero turn to cut about same amount of yard in about 2 hours or less
Brush Hog for that jungle!That will be nice, I spent way too much time mowing today. But I doubt it will get that high again.
I do have a few longhorns over at my dads farm. They do make great pasture ornaments and are much cheaper than the mini highlands.Yes we want some mini highlands, I also want 1 longhorn because why the hell not haha. Yeah the highlands are expensive but they will end up more like pets haha. My hygienist her brother just bought a couple to start breeding, maybe I’ll get some deals? Probably not.
We saw a nice 4pt buck on the property today towards the evening as well.
165acres here is not affordable. We were lucky to get this place and got a great deal, but most of the area an acre is now going for 15-20k.
Tgere is a difference in Boarers. A wither that can place at the major stock shows are expensive. The ones that can win at the County or state fairs can cost a couple or so grand, a straw of semen usually costs us $5-600 to do one nanny plus the trip to a vet that does AI and that costs. We have a billy for our lesser nannies. A decent billy will cost $4000 up. Decent. Our feed bill runs $500 a month for about 15 nannies. But it is a dry as a popcorn fart here too.One of my patients raises goats, his sell for around 10k. It’s a damn goat, crazy. He said his wife’s friend sold a goat for 27k?! What the hell!

You are a doc. You can handle breech births!
If you have good enough fence, get a few or so weaned calves. If you are going to depreciate the equipment and bldg. for taxes you need a FARM!!!!!Yeah that’s crazy. I want no goats at my house. They would make keeping the grass down easy though.

@johndart If the red X wasn’t a fat finger on a phone, what was it you disagree with?Dang, Doc! You're wearing that stuff out moving it....lol. The open trailer will be fine. Pick a nice day and do it. Surely there's a trunk latch in one of those boxes? You don't need the lock. A flat screwdriver will open it from the outside. As mentioned above, a ratchet strap between the doors will hold em shut. Use some cardboard between the doors and jams to keep them fro, banging and scuffing. Same with the hood. Congrats on the new shop....errrr house!
Not a what to buy poll, as I’d 100% be buying an enclosed trailer.
I just bought a house with some shops for my divorce starters… (mopars) which means I need to move my project Dart from the rental to its new home… it’s about a 40 minute drive in the back highways.
the car in question currently has no windows, no windshield, doors not latched to the closing mechanism (door bolts not installed). The fenders aren’t 100% attached and the hood and trunk have no latches….
I haven’t been able to find an enclosed trailer close to me to rent to move the dart, but I can find a flat bed car hauler rather easily. Should I just grab the flat bed hauler, and tie everything down and shut and go or… should I rent an enclosed trailer that is a 1hr drive one way from my current house. I just don’t want to drive all day but it can be done if need be.

That trailer would be an EASY $6,000 on the west coast.@pittsburghracer yeah there are a lot of trailers like that around me for 2500-5k it seems like.

Edit: I was wrong. New tires, winch, battery and box.... $8,000.
I got a lot of cars moved with the little 2500 harbor fright (on purpose!) winch, but there were lots of times I wish I had more.. Bought a 9 ton HF, acts like it could pull down a house. Battery and winch in a box, on the trailer.Well I got it moved… wanted an enclosed trailer but the place kicked me in the nuts and said “I can’t rent you the enclosed trailer because you don’t have a 3/4 ton truck….” Well… now apparently I need a bigger truck…
Let me be the one to tell anyone who wants to listen…. Get a winch! My whole body hurts… I thought I could get a little come along puller and be fine? Nope! I couldn’t figure out how to use it… I used my 2 big *** tow straps as winches. Little by little. The car is in its new spot, it’ll probably get moved around after we move in.
Oh we also got a new barn cat… that my wife and kids are trying to change to an indoor cat. It was stuck in one of my old lady patients engine bay this Wednesday. We haven’t figured out a name for her yet. Our house came with 3 other barn cats but they are 15-19 years old, we need some young blood out there.
