Tractor build overkill

[Kris5902]

Our (Canadian) version of Harbor freight carries some smallish pneumatic Turf Tires, with a flatter edge and tread? Or you could look into small (kids sized) ATV/4wheeler/golf Cart tires. Especially with how you’re considering trailering it. Maybe not a daily mover, but it’s still nice to have the mobility, and a good solid predator proof “coop” in a tractor. It looks great!

We were thinking of turning the big old wooden playset into a coop, or at least using it to support enclosure for a run - but went with a more standard coop-and-run-in-one. I am expecting the girls will probably enjoy climbing around on the playset some, when my teen daughter's home and in the yard with them to supervise time out of the run.

It made a good frame, but turned out awfully heavy. Hands not idle enough yet. Still have to finish reassembly of my 65 Simplicity, then the Yazoo engine(s), a couple Yazoo frames, another Simplicity, the A Farmall, cut grass in several yards besides mine(donations), entertain a grandson, work a bit for pay, and play with the chickens. And, in all that time, will consider putting the Snapper rear end on the coop.
We free range most of the day and put in coop for overnight or while away from home. I can move the coop while they are out of it so the running engine will not disturb them. Motorizing will yield it's own set of problems, though. Weight distribution being the main one. Will need enough weight on drive wheels to make them operate properly. Not sure if worth the effort and upkeep on engine/drive train/charging system
