Cutting Hay With a Disk Mower on a Compact Tractor

This is an owner's honest day-three field report on cutting roughly 25-30 acres of hay with a disk mower on a TYM T574, not a walkaround or tutorial. Brock works through real problems, a borrowed cutter missing its safety curtain, a broken pipe frame, radiator overheating at 104°C, and evolving mowing patterns like cloverleaf corners. Best for compact-tractor owners curious about real-world hay production timescales and the learning curve involved.
