Thanks for the offer, Jay Gee.  I don't use the tractor enough to warrant
going to that much trouble.  Once this initial plowing is done, and beds set
up, I won't be going through this again, although we do extensive
bushhogging in & around the pastures, but that's on gentle hills, no steep
slopes.  We have a Ford 4000, and an excellent welder.  I'll keep this idea
in mind!

but isn't it better to ask before we need the info ; )) Fwiw, what makes me
cringe, makes the local farmers laugh.  "You call that steep??"  They get a
big kick driving by seeing me ready to spring to the uphill side ; ))
