Goat protection with a Kioti

[carpenter383]

I bought a couple young goats to clean up a hillside that's been overtaken by weeds. I tried an invisible fence with shock collars on the goats, but it didn't work, and one of my boxers attacked the brown one I needed a place to put the goats where they would be safe so I put them in my dog cage. I was in a hurry because it was getting dark when I thought: hey I could use my tractor bucket to hold the cage down for the night....So far they haven't moved the cage an inch.......Guess I'll have to break down and run some some woven wire for them.

That is a sharp looking tractor. Does that "swoopy" hood help you go faster?

The aero dynamic hood is more for better feul economy than speed, cause it helps cut through the head winds, after all it is a tractor!.......I'm very happy with this tractor, so far I have 94 hrs on it and it's been flawless.

a bit of advice:

1. put in a bottom grid, fix the cage to the fell
2. put tractor in 1st gear creep speed and aim itiin the to-be-cut direction.
3. check every weekend
4. lift closed cage with goats and all, turn tractor opposite direction
5. go to step 2

now i think about it, with a gps guiding system you have created an ecological robo-mow!

A couple of remarks:
1. during wet periods you might have to use 2nd gear as grass grows faster.
2. check gender of goats or cage might become too small in short time
