I read your post with great interest. I feel the same as you. I have downsized over the last 10 years. I am 64.
I just sold the last of our cows this week. It is not fun to me anymore. I baled hay last week. I have newer equipment that gives little problems but I was in a horrible mood all that week.
I still have farms and have them rented. I am thankful for the life I have had and God has richly blessed us. More than we ever deserved. With that being said I would like to be footloose and free for the last part of my life.
It is most folks dream to retire to a small farm and spend the rest of their life chasing cows and building fence. I have lived this life on a big scale and it is a burden rather than a blessing now.
Only bad part for me is I basically have no hobbies. Don't hunt Don't fish. Just always worked.
I look at it this way if this ain't making me happy, if I get the burden off my back then maybe I can find another way of life that gives me a challenge.
Sorry for jumping around like a squirrel in a tree with my thoughts.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
