>>>*We tried to load a 7 head disc mower on the 2660 Kubota, when my brother went to lift it the tractor tipped over onto two wheels!...*LOL**

*I told him I didn't think that was going to work. He solved it by somehow finding an old 7' John Deere cycle bar with a guide wheel, best guess from out of the 30's. That thing is in perfect condition, amazing. The price was amazing, too...free! So he will use that and I will use the 1943 international mower we have had since the 50's. We also have an 11 foot Heston but it needs lots of work.

We cut just over 100 acres of hay each year, those 7 foot bars make short work of it. This year we reclaimed another 40 acres so we need two rigs going at once.

With this string of rare good wintertime weather, we plan on grinding 25 acres with the brush hog, too.

*This "retirement" stuff is sure a lot of work.....*EB
