Projects: Hay Field

So many projects so little time!
Our newest project is a hay field. We cleared LOTS of trees (little spindly pines trees) harrowed with a homemade harrow - 7 tires cut in half and chained together with lag bolts for spikes and now the brushing. We acquired this old beast from a neighbour - it had been sitting in his back field for decades.  Ed dragged it home, pumped up the tires, WD-40'd everything on it, sharpened blades and fixed the PTO, and off she went!

Lots of elbow grease and WD-40 and she runs great

Eats everything in its path!
Cleared of wild rose brushes and other stuff, time to fertilize, seed and harrow and see what happens.

They were meant for each other
