We are about to move onto a 5 acre smallholding in Southern Spain. The land
is gently sloping (almost flat) river plain. We intend to market garden veg
and have a few livestock. This is a major life change for us and, as part of
the 'total package' I have been thinking to use animal traction to prepare
the land - I was thinking of acquiring a mule. Can I have some advise on the
pros and cons. The existing farmer has a 20 year old walk behind tractor
which he is offering to sell for 1,800 euros. Seems very expensive? What
should I do?
Thanks
Dominic
