We have several acres that we have been working on. The first year we mowed it low in the spring and used a broad cast spreader with Timothy. It was a waste of money for the most part. A lot of the seed never got to the ground so it did not germinate. The second year we did a space about 75x 100. We mowed it low and used one of the propane torches to burn the thatch and every thing else. We used the broad cast spreader again much better results. The new seed did well and the old grass came back. We did put some 10-10-10 down after every thing sprouted and you could see a difference all year but that was a lot of work. The third year I got a walk behind slit seeder from a landscaper. That was the best way to do it. The olny thing was we had to put weights on the seeder so it would cut the ground. We should have done it sooner in the year when the ground was soft. Last yeas we cut the field low and used one of those drag mats from TSC then went over it again with the mower. That was at the end of February. In mid march we used the slit seeder and went in two directions. It was an unbelievable deference compared to the rest or the field. We are in south east Ohio out side New Athens. The pic is part of the field. we are clearing it to make a food plot.

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. 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
