If you're looking to make this simple, I'd avoid a large greenhouse (except to start tomatoes, peppers and such in the early spring) and concentrate on a good harvest and methods to preserve it: drying, canning, freezing. Yes, the tomatoes will be much better fresh in August and you'll miss 'em in January, but you can still have them stewwed from jars. Apples and potatoes will keep well into the early spring if stored in a good root cellar. Most other veggie's freeze or can well.

BTW - I'm thinking of putting some lettuce and spinach in my small greenhouse this winter and see if we can have salads in the winter/early spring.

Peters, Do you know how much lighter an 855 is than 4115? or maybe I should just ask if you know how heavy an 855 is? Can any weight disadvantage be simply solved by adding factory or home-made weights? Are there any other significant functional differences? (I'm considering buying a used tractor, but finding specifications and data on older models hard to come by.)

Thanks

Arnie, have you sold your JD 855 and equipment? If not, have you set a price? I'm in the market for a small tractor and have been looking at those in the size range of a JD 4115 or Kubota 7510. Is the 855 comparable in size to those? I assume the JD 855 is a 4wd, hydro, correct?
