[QUOTE="sim2kuk, post: 7420320, member: 156140"] Good morning all, First post, but mainly because I am looking for advice on a few things. I am not a farmer, or have much idea on anything agricultural (I work in IT) – but with the push to working from home and two young children, we thought it would be beneficial for all our lifestyles to move to the country. It sounds rather romanticised, and to a certain extent it is, but we think it’s worth our while giving it a go. We are currently going through the purchase of a house in East Sussex, which has 5.5 acres of equestrian land – as you can probably imagine the land is not in particularly good nick – it is potted with a lot of weeds, and not particularly good grass. What I wanted to enquire was what work would generally need to be done to change the land from equestrian to a more sort of “parkland” type land? Also, are there people that can come and do this. I’ve been searching on Google (yeah, I know) and I can’t seem to find anyone to do this. I am also (lastly) looking for advice on small tractors – what kind of machine and accessories would I need to keep the land well cut and maintained – there seem to be lots of compacts ranging from 25-50hp (assuming I won’t need more than that) that would fit the bill, but so many Brands (and some that I thought were good, like Kubota, seem to get pelters wherever I look). Anyway, hope you’re all keeping well, and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
