JC Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Looking good O-F, It resembles a farm yard more everytime I visit the topic. Question for you; How many acres are you farming, or have you not thought that far ahead?? I'm going on the kit you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
