Well, you have a few options depending on what you intend to do with this crop and how much money you want to spend. First of all, we know that you have a Farmall M. Probably without a 3-point hitch. That doesn't mean you're stuck with only pull-behind mowers. Right now, as we speak, there is a mounted IH sickle bar mower for sale on the YT ads. It's in the TRACTOR PHOTO ADS. Ad #724506. It's mounted to the drawbar of a tractor similar to your M but a little newer. $500. Located in Millington, Michigan. That's about as cheap as you're going to find. A pull behind rotary Brush Hog type mower would do the job but it would chop the grass quite fine and if you wanted to take some eff for hay or bedding either now or in the future, that wouldn't be the way to go. I traded in a good but well-used 6' Land Pride rotary cutter about a year ago and it sold off the dealer's lot in about a week for $995. If you're planning on some sort of future hay crop then there are better mowers than a sickle bar but more $$$ as well. It sounds to me like you're planning to just let this all develop into its natural state. If that's the case then a plain old sickle bar mower might be the answer. The one I mentioned is a 7' cut. If you go rotary cutter a Farmall M will handle a 6' or 7'.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
