[QUOTE="choochter, post: 8193618, member: 85"] There could be lots of options on 30 acres, I'm assuming they are at the start of a journey and full of enthusiasm. If its all in grass they'll need some basic equipment anyway which can get got quite cheaply and will last a long time. One of the first things I bought 20 years ago was a hay turner, I've looked after it and its still going strong with a few parts replaced along the way. I just turn hay/haylage with it, don't row up - the balerman prefers to do the rowing up. Same with the mower, its 18 years with me, looked after it, and it was only last year it had a minor trip to machinery A&E but I only lost a couple of days mowing. I prefer to do the mowing myself as I can decide when to go and how much to mow. Mind you, if it was me on 30ac and I was at home most of the time, I'd still start a pedigree herd of cattle, if there was buildings as well. 10ac silage, 20ac grazing. What fun that would be!
