Forgot to mention if you mow and use that rotary cutter, then want to bale the next cutting, be careful of the dead cut grasses, left in clumps or what have you, you don't want it to get baled up, will also leave dead spots in the field best to get it off the field if you can, or take it down in height by doing a few passes to chop it up better. I cut a small field next to my house, it's all orchard grass and topped out by the time I get to it usually and boy there's a lot of dead, decaying grass that you don't want if you were to bale it, then of course the tire always mashes down grass that does not get cut, so if I cut it low, I end up going around a 2nd time the opposite way to shred it up and get those tire mashed areas to stand up a little and get cut, still leaves a lot of dead stuff, better to rotary cut in early mid May, which I have done in the past on this field, there is not so much deadfall to contend with and it would seem the following cut would be real nice and no problem baling as the left over from the previous cut was shredded and settled out, it kind of resets the clock, and it may not look so appealing for nesting critters being lower. One reason I let my piece go, is the deer always have fawns in it, gives em a chance to make it and a place to have em, there's a doe hanging around right now, should be any time now always nice to see twins, sometimes triplets, never thought that possible, but I have photos of same.

The easiest and best first-time project for wanna-be sheet-metal workers like myself is flat or nearly flat metal cut and drilled to be a tractor's sidesheet. A sidesheet is sheetmetal to cover either the engine as in the case of early Oliver's, Massey-Harris' and many crawlers or the wiring and electrical components as in the case of the Massey-Harris Pony, Allis Chalmers' D Series (D-14, D-15, D-12, D-10, D-17, and D-19). The need for fabricating becomes obvious when you go to buy any of these
