According to the old timers around here sweet clover needs to be cut and baled real early before it gets tall and stemmy if it is used for hay. It does look a lot like alfalfa when it is small and 12" tall and it seems to grow like crazy, much faster than alfalfa. I can see how it can get away from a person real fast. Dad said years ago if sweet clover got in alfalfa the sweet clover only lasted one year. I remember sweet clover being real bad on one of our hay fields when I was a little kid but that's been over a half century ago. I felt like taking a cell phone video when I was bush hogging it yesterday. It was as tall as the hood on the 630. It doesn't seem to bother the bush hog much even though it was real tall and thick. It chopped up real well. I was in fourth gear, about 4.5 MPH and the tractor was talking real loud but it could pull it OK.

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.
