There are two rules concerning concrete, its going to get hard, and it is going to crack. If all goes as planned, control joints cut into your slab, will control WHERE the concrete cracks. The rebar or wire placed in the concrete keeps your slab in the same plane. You may have some random cracks but the rebar or wire keeps the crack from opening up or shifting up or down. I do not know what the upcharge is for fiberglass, I've talked to cement finishers who thought it was a little more difficult to get a trowelled out finish, but it does improve its strength. So if the budget will allow go with wire or rebar and fiberglass. The biggest culprit in cracking, scaleing in concrete is the addition of too much water. So remember, you are PLACING concrete, NOT POURING> keep wet enough to work, but not too wet. Remember the concrete slab rides on the subgrade below it so compact the ground or sand or stone below the slab. Good luck with you project. Hope your "old" finisher is still available. gobble

Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
