    Smaller rear tires to lower tractor ROPS so I can fit into my trailer when hauling

    Choice: food or solar fields

    Solar and farming can work quite well together. It just takes a little planning. When we get the green light that solar is good then I think we will see a lot of planning of where to use it. Warehouses and stores with huge unobstructed roofs. Farms with unusable land. Windows in tall buildings...

    Gravity Farm Diesel Tank, is it worth getting one.

    wow! thats 1 1/2 gallon a hour. must be a good size tractor. my tractor and mini x both use about a gallon every 2-3hrs a 100 gallon tank would have to be filled 3 times a year. easy to do in a pickup. or a 300 gallon tank on skids could be put on a trailer to fill

    Safe bet that most all of them need to be upgraded right now. The new battery structures now can take a much higher charge rate. Some charge from 20% to 80% in less than a hour. might be a lot faster in maybe a year or two? Batteries are changing at a monumental rate.

    No equipment is worth much unless you find that 1 guy who really wants one. Best bet is to get a replacement engine and then you will have something you can sell. Shop around, try Harbor Freight for the motor. They have a good selection now and growing.
