Well we took these pics of the farm/property that we own at the start of last planting season, So they're a little more then a year old. This is back before my dad got his Ram 1500, so the Dakota that you see is our old truck, just got rid of it a little after these photos to a guy down the road.
The tractor is a 1952 Ford Jubilee, in the pics it is unrestored at the time all we did was get the engine running so we turn over the field quickly (the '50 Ford 8n our other tractor was still be finished so we couldn't use it) After we finished planting/mowing etc we brought it back up to our house and we're now just finishing that restoration (it's in the garage awaiting paint actually, and the 8n was just brought up to the property for work duty).
The only other thing in the pic is my current quad, a honda fourtrax, the field we took pics of is a 6 acre field, we have 9 acres of total field (there's a second field at the bottom and to the left of this one) and all the trees you see around it is also ours (in total we have a TAD under 60 acres, im talking like 59.999 lol).
It's located in Broome County, new york, in a ghost of a town named Windsor..close to binghamton. We mainly use it for deer, quail, rabbit, bear, and turkey hunting. Each animal i assure you is used to it's fullest we do not kill and show off, we kill, carve, eat, and sell the miscellaneous parts (people actually buy their hooves, and we've had numerous hides tanned and sold for blankets etc) oh and for farming of course lol. I shot my first dear from the bottom corner of that field at about 300 yards away (give or take a couple yards).
Oh and thats my dad in all the pics except when you see me on the quad.
anyway here's the link:

enjoy, i think there's 28 in total.
maybe we can get a nice big RX7 bonfire setup for the tri-state. And if anyone asks why, i just figured maybe some guys would like to see what i do with my spare time lol, and yes we built that house over like 3-4 4-day weekends. Would've taken less but the roof was giving us problems. We built it so well that if you close the doors and windows you CANNOT light a match or anything because it is sealed so tight, which is actually bad for living in, so this summer we're putting in a venting system
enjoy,
kevin.

correction, it's my dad in most of the pics, im the one with the black hat in a couple pics.
oh and in case anyone is wondering why everyone says "real estate is where the money's at" we bought these 60 acres for $28,800, (after all costs were calculated into it). Right now it's probably worth about triple that due to land value increases in the area and the work we've done to it (there's a large stream with crayfish and what not on the land, we've created a complete path system throughout the property, access to the main gas pipeline that runs over the hills (which we use for ATV/dirtbike riding), and all other kinds of stuff)
