# One is not allowed to have one's animal carry a burden for them even in a courtyard. <Ref> Rambam [[Yom Tov]] 5:2 writes that one is forbidden to have one's animal carry for him on [[Yom Tov]] as it's a activity usually done on the weekday. Shulchan Aruch 495:3 rules this as halacha. Magen Avraham 495:5 explains that this law isn't dependent on Shevitat behemto but rather based on doing activity on [[Yom Tov]] like one would do on a weekday (which would only be a rabbinic prohibition). Mishna Brurah explains that according to such an explanation it's forbidden to have the animal carry a burden even in a courtyard without crossing any halachic domains. </ref>

==Fixing Utensils on Yom Tov==
# If a roasting spit broke on Yom Tov it is forbidden to fix it, whether it is usable as is or not.<Ref>The Gemara Beitzah 28b states that it is forbidden to fix a pit that broke on Yom Tov. Rashi s.v. asur litakno explains that it is only forbidden since the spit can be used if it is bent and it is an unnecessary effort to fix it. Rosh Beitzah 3:13 agrees with Rashi. Therefore, the Rama 509:1 writes that a spit which broke to the extent that it can't be used can be fixed on Yom Tov but it is forbidden to permit this to others. Even according to the Rama, the Biur Halacha s.v. oto adds that according to the Ran (Beitzah 15b s.v. amar rav yehuda) it is forbidden to fix a spit that is totally broken since it is completely fixing a utensil which even Rabbi Yehuda forbids. The Ran (15a s.v. amar rav yosef) explains that anything which is done for a long period of time is forbidden even though Rabbi Yehuda usually permits machshirei ochel nefesh. Mishna Brurah 509:6 adds that if it is possible to borrow from someone else one should do so and it is forbidden to fix the spit. However, the Shulchan Aruch 509:1 based on the Rambam says that it is forbidden in all cases. The Kesef Mishna (Yom Tov 4:9) explains that it is forbidden to fix the spit even if it isn't totally broken lest one come to permit fixing the spit when it is totally broken. Further, the Bet Yosef 509:1 forbidden fixing the spit in all cases since the Rambam doesn't hold like Rabbi Yehuda that machshirei ochel nefesh is permitted. Mishna Brurah 509:1 adopts the explanation of the Bet Yosef. </ref>
# It is forbidden to fix a spit that is too long and needs adjusting.<ref>Mordechai (Beitzah no. 691) quotes the Ravyah that it is forbidden to shorten a spit on Yom Tov. This is similar to the opinion of the Ran (Beitzah 15b s.v. amar rav yehuda) that it is forbidden to create a utensil even according to the opinion that machshirei ochel nefesh is permitted. Shulchan Aruch 509:2 codifies the opinion of the Mordechai. Shaar Hatziyun 509:11 maintains that it is forbidden even according to Rashi (Beitzah 28b) who disagrees with the Ran based on the gemara Beitzah 32b.</ref>
# A knife that dulled on Yom Tov may not be sharpened with a knife sharpener. Theoretically, if it still cuts it is permitted to sharpen the knife on a rock but even this may not be permitted publicly. However, if it can't cut it is forbidden to sharpen it.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 509:11 rules like the Rambam.</ref>
