What about running chickens in the garden(s)?  Of course, you'd have to manage them, but in the end, when running tractors isn't viable (fuel expense), you'd have a "solution."  Always look to eliminate expenses; as Joel Salatin demonstrates, take advantage of allowing animals to do what they do best to do work that would otherwise need to be done by yourself or by machine.
