DIY/Homemade Tractor Hacks w/ No Welding Required

[k0ua]

FYI
Buzzbox welder.. any of the older AC only welders to include the AC225 Lincoln or one of the Century or Cambell Hausfeld, or any AC only welder.

AC/DC welders are more desirable or the newer DC only welders (inverters) offer many advantages. I have a 160 amp max DC welder made by Everlast, the size of a toaster and weight about 22 lbs. I also have an "buzzbox" a Lincoln AC225, still a good old big heavy transformer based welder, and it is for sale ($150 bucks and I will help load it). It is the same welder that is for sale today at Home depot. But any welder is better than no welder. Of course you need instruction, but it CAN be self instruction. just expect it to take it longer. And it depends on the person.

depending on the size of the garden I would consider some type of small three point chisel and or small tandem disk,

a post hold digger, or post driver, if your going to do a lot of wood posts,

mower,

a wagon could be helpful,

I would consider some type of thee point forks, that has movable forks so one can move pallets and or large bales,

a loader if the tractor can handle it,
(but there are three point scoops so one can still move some soil,

hack
a clever solution to a tricky problem
to hack is to mod or change something in an extrodinary way

Never heard the word hack used in that way, I have always heard it in a negative light when used to making or building or changing some thing,

who ever did that sure was a Hack,

that is a Hack job,

so and so is a real hack,

much like the term Farmered, usually meaning some thing cobbled together, in a less than desirable manner,

for your definition, the word "macgyvered" or "jury-rig" would in my thinking would be much easer understood,

A small utility trailer is very handy for a property that size.
