[AT] Potebtial tractors for the East Bend, NC area

[David Bruce]

And given hired help does a large part of the work ease of use does make 
a difference. Then you get into the tax write off thing.  I was chatting 
with my lawnmower people yesterday and we discussed the point of diesel 
vs gas for tractors. To me nothing sounds better that an older Allis gas 
engine when running right but for every day use I find a smaller diesel 
tractor much more efficient with my time.

>> If anyone is wondering, David and I live along the Yadkin River valley. The river valley is home to about 30 really high-quality vineyards and wineries.  Flint hill is fairly close to both of us.  It's one of the smaller vineyards but produces a pretty nice chambourcin(spelling??) grape and some nice wine.   They have other varietals too. I can't remember if they produce the wine themselves or hire it out to the vintners at some of the larger wineries in the area.
