Our farm came with a handful of abandoned equipment. I finally got a small tractor two weeks ago and have attempted to use some of these old implements. Other things have been repurposed. Turned an old manure spreader into a chicken coop and built a half assed, yet very effective last year, wagon blind out of pallets and a hay wagon (not pictured). The disk is only heavy enough to get through maybe 2" of our hard clay but that might be a good thing as I'm fine with min-till/throw mow. Seeded and then used the cultipacker yesterday. Disc is hanging together at parts with bailing wire. Cultipacker is actually all ok. I've greased most of the zerks I could fine on the disc, cultipacker and mower (a couple to do still).
Looking for some advice here on the mower. I don't really want to wreck my brand new Kubota L2501 so I am wondering what steps people might take before hooking it up to the pto and just giving it a whirl. It is pretty darn heavy so I'm not even sure what the correct way to flip it up to look underneath. Pulley from a tree? Front loader and a chain? Any advice on steps to bring it back to life safely would be appreciated. Scrap it and go by a new one is also a fair answer I'm willing to hear.
