bought an old Howard Rotavator tiller for the Kubota, $425; fixed the driveline for it, $112; new starter for tractor, $330; purchased five foot harrow and 3-point implement piece, $150; Old useable trailer, $295.
Yeesh, it adds up, even when you're buying old, used stuff. $1,312 total.
Tilled the large area inside the fencing, added lime and peat moss, tilled it again. Going to harrow it but the hydraulic system is making noise. I'm hoping I can simply add fluid and keep working. A new pump for the old Kubota will probably be $400. Still, that's a lot cheaper than a new tractor.
Lost a chicken today. Not sure why. It was just keeled over dead when I got to the farm. All other chickens seem healthy. No poisonous snakes up here, so I have no idea why it died.
