I hear yah…they want the same price, here, but I found one for $30 at a pawn/junk store…might want to scope out that type of store…and I saw (I believe it was) in Northern Tools that they have them for around $45 new…

That looks really good! Question: does it take all 3 to pull that size of disc if it was on unfrozen ground? {I’m needing to find a small disc & am wondering what it takes to pull one the size you’ve got pictured}.

I can’t wait to get home and get my hands dirty somewhere, anywhere but here.

In that case, I’ve got 10 compost piles that need turning…:rolleyes:

At $6600 (w/ shipping to my area), even with the original gas engine, that Northern Tool item seems too much for just turning compost… I wonder about somehow modifying one of those old hay hooks/spears – drop, grab & then moving it on it’s track & dropping? Way beyond my abilities to engineer, but just a thought I’ve had for a while…

Do you realize she did this all in her head in less than a minute? :p

Sounds interesting…if you get photos posted, I’m sure wanting to see them…

[Robert MoonShadow]

Any photos to compare the two? I’d like to learn more about them…

I’d fear using the cattle panels…might get a hoof caught in them, with no one around to help…although my donkeys (as most seem to be) are more likely to not panic and just start braying for help…

[Robert MoonShadow]

Thanks, Ed. I’ll have to budget for that, since it’s a treat for myself, and not a neccesity – I will be in touch. 😮

Um, that’s called stalking…
yay! I’ve got my first-ever stalker!
{I was hoping for more of a female type, but what-the-hey}

Okay, okay, already…I cleaned it out.

I sent a paper copy of the 3-wheel design in Lynn Miller’s book to a guy a month or so ago, and he emailed me a copy of it back in case I ever wanted to email it to anyone…so if you want it, let me know.

My donkeys would happily stand there for 6 hours…there’s lots of good things to eat, there! :p

I remember another discussion on here about the FSA – if I recall, there was a lot of mention about they’ll sure help you, but want to micro-manage or look over your shoulder on your management decisions…I think someone had said they really are up on you to explain the “whys” of everything you do. I might not have it totally correct, though…

My mentor does “only” pleasure-driving…most of it readily transfer over to my training me donkeys to work. So now your fun begins!

This topic reminds me of the old saying:
“It’s not the size of the dog in the fight; it’s the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.”
