Pitt md, glad you enjoyed the thread. Sounds like you're well beyond me with the Hobby Farm stuff, but I'm slowly getting there.
A few days ago, my battery fell out of the tractor....hahahaha
There was a board going across the frame, and it finally rotted. It looked like it was put there by some Japanese rice farmer 20+ years ago.
Anyway, I may be qualified to be called "farmswithjunk jr." I took one of our other baby cribs and stole some wooden slats to make a new battery platform.
Hope to get another 20 out of it. Hahaha.
The chicken tractor is coming along, and will be ready for the chicks by end of the weekend I'm sure. I'll put up some photos then.
