Tractor with a bale spike and a muck grabber or at least a bucket of some kind
Stock trailer with 7' headroom or a livestock float if we're pushing out boats!
Brushcutter
A 60' (4 bay) yorkshire boarded barn or a set of old stone redes (can't buy those so would have to move but that's ok because it might come with an extra 20 acres please, tho that's not equipment ;)
Cattle crush or similar that could be used for pd'ing ponies too
Serious set of pens around each gate, long enough to tow in a trailer off the road before opening internal gates
Double farmyard gates with pullover bar to widen my access off the road
A water trough off the mains at the furthest paddock so I can give up on the 6 hoses that run water down there through another field
A workshop full of power tools for furniture making - bandsaw, table saw/planer/thicknesser combo, big dust extractor and bagging system, good sturdy workbenches, pillar drill, turning lathe, big vices, lots of clamps, huge storage areas for lots of wood and a heater (woodburner ideally).. (sigh)
Actually a wood burning stove in the house too, the open fire isn't terribly economical with the heat it produces tho it does heat a backburner
Solar PV panels
.. (I could go on for quite some time!)

A daughter  :sunshine:

Oh FW that brought a tear to my eye! I have two daughters, two sons ,three granddaughters, eight grandsons and a myriad of nephews, nieces,  great...........ad infinitum..... Wish we were neighbours, you could borrow a few!!

It brought a tear to my eye too, once I'd written it down.  I love my boys, but there's something special about a daughter.  I have 4 grandsons and a granddaughter but they don't live close by.  Thank you for the thought of sharing yours  8)

Do something today that your future self will thank you for - plant a tree

a pto rotorvator or better still a power harrow..
And if gettign into daydream stuff then a second tractr big enough to take a really long armed hedge brusher that could also ground trim over the fences..
Oh, and enough money to redrain all my fields, relevel them and reseed.

After this weekends wrestling match, I'd say a tup a size I can tip!

A tractor driver cutting the hedge took an awfully long time on that stretch of hedge so he could watch the full spectacle   :farmer:

a non waste hay rack for the goats
tractor and full compliment of haymaking equipment.
minidigger for these darn old stone drains that are completed clogged, and to move trees and shrubs that were just heeled in 'till next year', about 10 years ago.

A pair of secateurs that stay sharp, only work for me and automatically make their way back to the potting shed at the end fo the day. In fact, a range of self-returning garden tools would be good.
