$29k for the system and install. 12 year loan at 2.99% with $160 per month payment.
30% federal tax credit of $8,600 for purchasing system brings cost down to $20.5k

Do you have the option of going off grid totally and getting battery banks to store the power?

I could add that option but its expensive and I don't feel the need to do so.

Maybe if I just bought myself a tractor, I'd wind up having to force myself to get some land so I have a place to use it.

Also, Kubota often does 84 month 0% financing on new tractors and you can force the dealer to throw in a bunch of implements to make the sale
