I think we need an 8N, an old Farmall, and an Oliver. That'll get all the old/odd options. Plus one tractor for each family member.

The Oliver needs to be propane though, gotta have one propane tractor...

We have a 500 gallon propane tank now, so that could work. It's tempting to convert at least one of our cars to propane since our drives are local.

I would, especially in low flat country.

The ROI is the hard part. I have cars that are new enough that the conversion cost isn't trivial. I'd be looking at years for ROI, even if gas went up in price.

And a pedal tractor for the baby.

In Aus it was <$1500 to convert for a dual fuel kit. Considering the fuel was 40% of the price with only a 30% loss in efficiency, ROI was pretty good at $7/100km. ROI was figured around 20,000km.

Well, if we use the same $1500 and 40% with today's gas prices (I think those are low), it's over 30k miles for me, which is on the order of 3 years. Seeing as I've had this car for close to 1 year and my normal life is 2-4 years between cars, that seems unlikely to break even.

now on a more serious note can you just copy/ paste a picture of say... a naked chick and that thing will just print it ?
