[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1339033, member: 14713"] For you guys who do use 3pt mowers, I assume you always cut round and round clockwise because the mower stays on the RH side of the tractor? I used to hay creek bottoms, but not anymore. So I always make 6 rounds around the outside perimiter with my swing tongue moco to provide enough room to turn, then start on one side of the field and cut, rake, and bale back and forth. Only do 2 hayfields now, both are almost square. One field is an almost square of a 40 but not quite because the eastern fence is moved back to keep it out of a draw, officially measures something like 33.7 acres. No obstacles in the field unless I have left old haystacks there. The other field is a standard square 160, but I planted 3 rows of windbreak along the north and west sides of it. The only obstacle in the field is an old well not far from the east side. Used to be another old hand dug well at an old homestead but finally got it filled in and I go right over the top of it now.
