allen, absolutly right on, if you can find someone to fhire, and if they have the right equipment and if they'll actually do it when you need it done... too many ifs. we never could find someone to cut and bale hay as kc says if you want something done.... do it yourself .... on another note we did get a nighbor to prepare our pastures for reseeding and with all the wondrous rain theres a haze of green coming up... i do feel it was a response to prayer and luck we even found him, i noticed his tractor riding by. :)sharon PS... anyone know where bcs tillers are available? address? none around here in southern Delaware.----- Original Message ----- From: "Allan Balliett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 9:55 AM Subject: Re: Tillers
