Some of ya'll were close, some right... Most people that have seen it think it is a tiller or a clod-beater. Actually it is a Mott 88" Hammer Knife Mower, AKA a "Flail Mower". It looks rough but it has new bearings and knives. It cuts like a hybrid between a bushhog with sharp blades and a finishing mower. I have the coarse blades on it, which leave a slight "tepee" effect. There are fine knives that will rival finishing mowers. Have not burried if down in tall stuff yet, I may not have enough grunt. Alamo (bought out Mott) recommends 51HP, I have 48HP. I am going to practice preping and painting this before I tackle the tractor. Gotta see how my paint gun works out.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
