Cutting the Hay Field for the First Time. But I got hurt afterwards.

I am finally cutting our hay field for the first time. We planted this field last fall, after we amended the soil with lime, phosphorus, and nitrogen. The field has grown really well, except around the edges near the trees. I am using a new holland 451 sickle bar mower on a Allis Chalmers D17 tractor. This is my fist time cutting hay, so it takes me a while to make some adjustments and learn a good technique.
