Last year a lot of my drip tape came to an end out in the tilled area of the garden, mostly due to an odd shaped plot.I would have to do a lot of walking back and forth moving tape in-out-left -right and of course the ground was wet.
I found an old toy I had that hadn't worked for 20 years and got it up and running. Here it is.I think with a bit of work I could attach a stirrup hoe to the back end !

Put it on the shelf immediately! That's a car you can not buy for a non insane amount of money these days.
I have an FPV camera setup hooked to one of the non race cars for the fun of it currently, can drive around the patch and watch it on the TV inside the house even

can you drive under the leaves for an insect inspection, could we hook up booms to spray roundup, the possibilities are endless!!

You can drive under the leaves safely if wanted to put it on a smaller car, I have it on a 1/8 truggy right now.
I could put it on a smaller car and then hook a pan and tilt gamble and look up at leaves and cross over vines even with no worries of hurting them or even compacting soil, spraying anything would be much harder to rig up.

They have just about any equipment there is. ,backhoe bulldozer tracter trailers you can buy gas or battery powered the gas powered still need batteries to run you steering and other attachments.
I have been away from the hobby 20 years,I think come battery power are using up to 50 volts now

Sorry, meant to copy that link, but accidentally hit "post reply". On an Ipad, I have to copy and paste in the reply box then delete all other words and letters, then copy into the address bar, to get the links to work on this site.
