Caleb, I too applauad your excitement and drive. As others have said don't be so color blind as to let a bargan get-away-from-you! On somethin you need. There are plenty of good older tractors still out there, That haven't been hauled to Mexico yet. Of all flavors.
Tillage equipment is getting scarse on good heavy 6/8 row stuff. The lighter disks are still pretty much avaliable. I hauled my Krause disk,& Graham-hoame chiesel plow out of the TX/OK panhandle. Look for Implement trader yards, local farm sales, and road trips to where ever, be on the look out.
Hook yourself up with some local farmers and learn from them, Do-What-They-Do!!! The knowledge you get from them will be invaluable.
OBTW...Saw a really good looking JD 55 sitting on a yard in Jarrell, TX yesterday. just off down town. Jarrell isn't that big, just drive around and you will find it. Only about 120 miles from "THE LITTLE SCHOOL ACROSS THE BRAZOS"
Anyway I don't know if the guy would sell it, but it is worth a little road trip to check and see.
Good Luck, Hope this helps.
Later,
John A.
