Me too, Smallfoot, but I can't test it this fall.
I'm not much of a horse guy, but I hang around the draft horse club. I think I'll have to use a vintage tractor.

I didn`t think you were Mac. The tractor will do the job too... you might want to look into restoring a narrow track for your potato field

I got a bunch of gravel spread on my driveway and yard, so I needed to smooth it down and level it. My son-in-law offered me his newly made blade. I borrowed it and my daughters tractor and worked my yard over. I was quite happy with the results. Today I took the tractor and grader back to their place and retrieved my little Ferguson. I put her Ford in the hay shed with her Minneapolis-Moline. I saw that all of her hay customers have not got their bales out of there. Anyhow, I brought the Ferguson home and will put it in the machine shed for winter.

Thanks Dutch.
I forgot to tell you guys 'the rest of the story' on that Ford tractor.
My Dad bought that 5000 Ford brand new in 1967. Here he is baling hay [pic two]. Guess who the poor sucker is out the back ridin' the bale sloop and trying out his new birthday camera. After a while the tractor got traded in on something and it wandered around the area for the next 35 years. I usually knew where it was, [which was flukey]. Then one day, a guy who my daughter, Chanelle, was custom haying for, came to our house and said, "Chanelle, I'm giving you your Grandfathers tractor, with the operators manuals, with his name in them, ------- and I'm giving your Dad something, too". I was beside myself with great joy, hey, if he's giving out old tractors, well I'm all in.------ "Yep," he said, " I'm giving him a job, ----- He has to put a new clutch in that Ford". --- Uhhhh.
Anyhow, Chanelle had to keep haying his acreage until he moved to town a few years later.
