Ed, your picture sure looks like Cabazon or Antelope Valley! I have to 
admit my experience biases are production agriculture and specifically 
vegetables, hay, orchards, flowers, citrus and row crops. I also have 
dairy experience with both pastures and hay/silage based operations. I 
am located in an area that is still largely agriculture, but the cities 
are rapidly encroaching and I may need to win the lottery to protect 
some farmland!
      Caring for 10 acres of desert is a different animal and all of the 
tractor setups from ultra-hi clearance to orchard/vineyard to standard 
have their places in usability, no criticisms intended. I know that we 
do things somewhat differently in the sandy soil to the clay and loam 
soils in the ranches I farm....
