Remove all of the battery cables. Then run them through your hands and see if any place on them is stiffer than the rest of the cable. I have had several over the years that had corroded under the insulation. They looked fine on the out side but where full of corrosion inside. That made them have high resistance.
If the cables check out then remove the starter. Then just take it apart. They are not hard to disassemble. Many times they just need the armature cleaned up and a new set of brushes installed. The brushes cost around $10.
Then take the solenoid apart. There is a large contact in the end plate. They get burn spots on them when the starter engages. I just take a flat file and reshape them. Also clean the terminal that the battery cables hook to.
PS if it is a Delco solenoid they come apart. If it is a Nependeso one then you have to replace it. The end cap is soldered on and will not come apart.

I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
