Old Hat

I haven't updated for a while because everything is working as needed. I've used the mower nearly every week to mow my yard. Though my front yard is really too small for this machine, so mostly just the back yard. I use the battery push mower I picked up on Craigslist for $25 to do the front yard. The tractor does a great job for me, and cuts well enough. I think I need to sharpen the blade. I'd much rather have 2-3 small blades driven by individual motors, but I haven't found motors for that yet.
I'm still working on a rear implement system. I've abandoned the 3-point hitch and I'm nearly done with a sleeve hitch system. My first implement is a plug aerator because my yard needs it! After that perhaps a plow of some kind to use on my brothers property. I can see a use for a de-thatcher, a drop spreader (maybe broadcast?), perhaps even a sprayer.
I'd really love to get something with more fixed gears rather than the belt drive. I'd also very much love a shunt wound motor for a more constant RPM. Future project I guess!
