של משאוי שנים שנים – that there is with each one of them a burden for two people.
הרי אלו ינטלו (they may be removed) – all of them and even the smallest of them and it does not appear like removing the wall to make a field in its place.
פחות מכאן מחצב – and he doesn’t take all of it, but rather razes the rock even with the ground and leaves from the rock a handbreadth in the land in order that it would not be appropriate for sowing.
במה דברים אמורים – that which he should not begin with hewing/chiseling and that in which he razes the rock.
מה שהוא רוצה יטול – that it doesn’t appear like repairing the field if he began to take [the stones] from the Eve of the Seventh Year.
של משאוי שנים שנים. שיש בכל אחת מהן משאוי שני בני אדם:
הרי אלו ינטלו. כלן ואפילו הקטנות שבהן ולא מתחזי כמפנה הגדר לעשות מקומו שדה:
פחות מכאן מחצב. ואינו נוטלו כולו אלא גוממו ומניח מן הסלע בארץ טפח כדי שלא יהא ראוי לזריעה:
במה דברים אמורים. האי דלא יפתח מחצב והאי דגוממו:
מה שהוא רוצה יטול. דלא מיחזי כמתקן שדה כיון דלאו דידיה הוא ואפילו בשלו נמי לא מיחזי כמתקן שדה אם התחיל ליטול מערב שביעית:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

מחצב. מקום בתוך שדהו שחוצבין ממנו אבנים לבנין. אם היה מכוסה עפר ולא היה נראה אין פותחין אותו בתחלה בשביעית, שהרואה אומר לתקן שדהו הוא עושה כדי לזרוע בתוכו ולא להוציא האבנים לבנין:
עד שיהא בו שלש מורביות. שיהיו נגלים ונראים מאותו מחצב קודם שביעית שלש שורות של אבנים, שכל שורה מהם שלש אמות אורך ושלש אמות רוחב ברום שלש אמות, שנמצאו שם ט׳ אבנים שכל אבן הוא אמה על אמה ברום ג׳, וכן בכל שורה ושורה הרי כ״ז אבנים לשלש שורות, ובהכי ניכר שלצורך אבנים לבנין הוא מוציאם ולא לתקן שדהו:
