Eighty acres of my dirt in S.E. Nebraska, location may affect at least the timing of this practice. Anyway, this dirt has been in the family since 1867, when NE became the 37th state. My dad, 1904-1981, often said that his dad often said that; "If you want to kill a tree, cut it in August". Of course, cedars and other evergreens can be cut and will die whenever they are cut close to the ground. I am not adverse to using chemicals to stop regrowth after cutting trees but it is just a lot easier and cheaper not to. So, 3 or 4 years ago for a test, I cut the biggest (an 18 inch locust) on the place, in August, did not treat stump, there was no regrowth. My plan is to try this on dozens of small locusts next month. I believe dad thought that this worked because the sap was up in the tree, this time of year and needed to get back in the roots, in order for the tree to survive.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
