Thats true a lot to consider; we have plenty of tools tractor, were all engineers so we have a fuck ton of wire, a machine shop, micro controllers etc. so repair wise were probably ok. But yeah should probably consider land management; mostly its just forest and a yard atm. Pesticides!!! Thats a good though. Tbh wondering if the route to go is to buy a lot of chemicals as well if we need to synthesize stuff.
It's good to hear that you have equipment already. If the wooded areas of your property have been that way for a while, odds are the soil in that area is pretty good. Granted, clearing the trees could take some work.
Before buying anything I suggest focusing on your goals and planning. If you're more on the hobby vs commercial side of the spectrum I suggest starting small. Our garden is only 175 square feet of beds and pots, but it greatly reduces the amount of produce we buy during the summer and fall (yay zone 6).
I have another idea, but am going to break it out as a top level comment.
