Farm Equipment on Golden Oak Farm

Most farms and homesteads have some sort of equipment that is in everyday use. I expect this varies widely from farmstead and homestead. Because of our disabilities, these are the things most important to us here at Golden Oak Farm.

I recently did a search on my Facebook Golden Oak farm page for “moving” and was astounded at how much stuff we move on this farm each year. So naturally the 2 vehicles that can move things came first. But we move the animals a lot, cows daily, chickens weekly, layers every few days. So animal handling equipment is right up there.

As most of the animals are on pasture while they are here, we have a lot of feeding equipment that moves with them. The 10 acre piece doesn’t have running water, so we must haul it over to them every day.

The infrastructure for the gardens is next. Because we raise as much of our food as we can, they are of good size.

Then there are the lesser used items like the compressor, mowers, wood handling items, manure spreader, etc.

There’s the farm stand that we sell the garden overflow on, the snow plow for the winter, and the seldom used, but critically important generator.

A well equipped workshop with a good selection of hand and power tools makes any job that comes up that much easier. A good heavy vise, drill press, and table saw are some things used often here.
