Introduction and Project Overview

What happens here

The host introduces the project, explaining that he sold some personal vehicles to invest in farm equipment, specifically a skid steer. He mentions he is heading to look at a John Deere 250 skid steer. He discusses the financial strategy of buying affordable used equipment rather than expensive new machines to avoid debt and support the farm's profitability. He notes that the machine he is considering is a John Deere, but he is not brand loyal and was also considering a Kubota SVL 95, a 95-horsepower machine. The current John Deere is estimated to be around 60-65 horsepower.

Goal: Understand the motivation and criteria for acquiring a skid steer for farm use.
