Also horses have to eat every day. A tractor doesn't need to be fed until
you need to use it.
Not sure how accurate but I remember this statistic, that it can take as much
as a quarter of the land a horse can work to feed that horse? Anyway that
does need to be figured in.
That said I'd like to have horses but doubt that will ever happen.
