For what you are doing have you considered a walk behind rototiller-cultivator like Grillo or BCS? They ought to be a lot cheaper than a tractor and do the same work.

I personally would not want to give up my tractor for a two wheel walk behind tractor. The main reason, I am not as young as before, and my legs are not able to keep up with the work on foot as before, other than that they look like great machines and can do a lot of work.

The making them flash at once is just as simple as moving both wires to one side. So that when you turn that direction it sends current both ways.

Duh!
But why when I typically trailer it if it leaves the property?

I get it, if you don't need too that's fine. I just didn't want someone to think it was some massive rewire required. Mine is on the trailer 99% of the time, but I will ride down the highway between my farm and my cousin's place sometimes. I use to do it more , when I kept it there. It's about a mile and a half down the highway. I keep it in the car shed on my place now.

I have a walk-behind tractor. It's just parked now. Nobody even wants to buy it. So, I may just turn it into a generator of sorts. What a CUT tractor can do in 20mins, a walk-behind will take an hour or two.

I've not yet seen a good walk-behind move 5-inches of snow off a driveway yet because they have no real weight and very poor traction in the snow.

I did and have no desire to walk behind anything. Ain't working no harder than necessary

And I also decided a box blade and a few other things would be useful along the way. Plan to build 3pt frames for my water carrier and my boom sprayer that are currently on ATVs and use the tractor for that as well. Leave the ATVs for fun only

Smart. ATV's are great while they are kept up. Yes, there are a bunch of attachments for them too. BUT, the maintenance is more frequent with them vs. a CUT.

nova3930, there are 3pt frames that one can buy to convert most ATV attachments to CUT tractors. I've been looking at those this week. I've been on just too many websites, but do recall something on the NorthernTool website.

Mostly I just have the sprayer and the water tank for the ATVs. The water carrier is just a tank in a small trailer for that matter. Not really any conversion to do.

 

[nova3930]

Although something like this would probably work well if it had a little higher capacity for the water tank
