Making hay the simple/allis way

Last year and this year I cut hay on about 5 acres for our "pets." I use the sickle mower and a dump rake that I fabricated. This is the first pass that I made with the sickle mower last year...

That looks like a lot of fun. I like the brake rotors you're using for front wheel weights. Neat idea!

Holy cow! Thats a lot of work for a little Allis. Shows how tough these were made. Good dump rake job. Way to think "out of the box".
