Hello I am very new into homesteading. Got 6 chickens, an unfinished greenhouse, a ford 4600 and a dream. I’m currently trying to grow all the feed I’ll need for my chickens this year. My issue is the ground here in TN is that hard clay. My tiller is having a hell of a time getting it up and I decided to stop and do some research before I brake something. Anyone know how I can get the soil soft enough to till to prep for planting?

Ford 4600 (I think) clutch problem
low

Howdy! My dad busted his tractor and a big 'ol log, had to replace some part of it. In the process he drained the clutch. He put 15 gallons of fluid in it but it's totally loose and he can't find where it bleeds. Also, there's almost no information about this online We think it's a 4600, it was sold to him as a 3600, but it doesn't seems to match that. Thanks!
