After meeting my second wife, we got started with a 30 acre place in my mid 30's, upgraded to a 1/4...
Got both on my Kubota too. The brush rake is handy.
We have an old Farmi 3 pt. pto winch, love it, I use it to skid logs out of the bush and onto the trail. It saves a lot of work packing firewood out piece by piece.

We generally produce more meat than we can use in a year, so inevitably there is frozen meat we are eating that can be 4-5 years old. It has never been a problem for us. I would...
With all due respect Ranch Hand, I'm not aware of leaded gas being available anywhere, except maybe Av-gas at an airport, and they are not supposed to sell it for non aviation use.
