Tell me why I, as a rural german, shouldnt get a two-wheel tractor
>got ~5000m2 garden behind the house (1,2 acres)
>Part groomed lawn
>Part veggie patch
>Part meadows
>Got wood to saw, store and transport around the land
>Have to dig the patches every year by hand
>Mowing the meadows is a pain in the ass.
So I'm higly interested in buying pic related. We got tons of these old 50s/60s/70s two wheelers which would solve basically all of my problems
>Can mount a trailer and even drive on roads without registration (because <20km/h)
>Can mount plows, harrow, mower and even a jigsaw
>They are like 500-1500 Euros from private sellers
And I could repair it (ex-apprentice as car mechanic now working inna different field) on my own.
So /n/, is there any reason that could or should talk me out of it?
Thx in advance
We actually have those things.
Don't get anything too old, they are cool machines but eventually what happens is the cylinder casing will crack and you'll have to replace the engine. If it's not too old you can buy a diesel engine replacement from India for very cheap and it will basically drop into the chassis and bolt right up. If you buy something antique you won't be able to do that.
Also be warned when tilling with them:
1. Keep your feet safe lol
2. They are quite strenuous on the body, it's not a walk in the park when tilling/plowing beware not to hurt your back
You might also want to consider something smaller than pic related.
We have a 6.5hp diesel that is more than good enough for all terrain and a lighter 3hp petrol that we have to use to cultivate some gardens which are atop a very steep hill.

Well, I was planning to get a Holder (the brand name) B6 or B8 which are the smallest ones - The one in my pic was just an example. It would actually be too large for me because I have some very tight spots on my land where this thing would have to fit thorugh.
They are alle made in the late 50s / early 60s and virtually are built like a tank - so no cracking of cylinder casings: I read in some forums and engine problems are virtually unknown. They are two stroke gas engines, some are diesel. Air cooled so no coolant circle that can break.

>ex-apprentice as car mechanic
What happened? Did you realise you didn't like being a mechanic?
Oh shit I want really to get ass fucked in that trailer, my man pussy is totally asking for it.

No, I acutally finished the apprenticeship but that was in the mid-00s when nobody hired rooky mechanics. So I went back to school and finally got me a technical degree.
