Beautiful place!
My daughter lives in Capitola, almost neighbors.
I visited last year for the first time. Saw the Elephant Seal colony, and my first Redwood (she has one in their yard). As a forester and biologist, really enjoy region and it’s agriculture. Saw artichokes!
Really temperate place; not real hot or cold.
Just too many people and too much traffic for this ole farm boy.... I don’t travel very well....[emoji15]
We are very much neighbors. The traffic is insane in this area, you are correct. Fortunately this property in a bit of an "off the path" spot....well, until you have to go anywhere outside the 5 acres!
TomAce82,
I'm smiling as I type because you sound just Like I feel. I've got my first tractor in 40 years, and my very first ag tractor. Except for some "fun work" I'm still doing what you're talking about doing, replacing or changing things. Yesterday was the hydraulic fluid and a new strainer. Last item (that I know of) is the front wheel drive fluid and then I'm ready to start my food plots. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I'm enjoying mine.
Tons of info on the site and every question I've asked has been thoroughly and thoughtfully answered. Great site of fine folks.

Which tractor did you purchase Florida Al? I'm loving mine so far. Just replaced the regulator/rectifier, which meant pulling the steering wheel and dash, fun few hours getting to know the electrical. Super easy job, and fixed my charging problem. I'm looking forward to food plots too. I have a 3pt rototiller that I'm yet to use.
Very few purchases will give you as much pleasure as a tractor. You can accomplish a lot and enjoy doing it. Its kinda fun. Please remember to always tell the wife how much WORK you got done with the tractor. If you tell how much fun you had, it will make the rest of us look bad. Enjoy your tractor.
Yes! Work not fun! I'll remember that one!
