Mishnayos Bava Metzia Perek 6 Mishnah 5
בבא מציעא פרק ו׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
והביא עליה שעורים – which are lighter than wheat
חייב – for its ruin/damage if he added three Kabs. And we don’t say that since the barley is lighter, he can add up to the weight of a Letekh of Wheat which is burden of the donkey (see Bava Metzia 80a).
מפני שהנפה קשה – for the animal as a burden. For even though its burden is not as heaven as the burden of wheat, their volume is like the volume of wheat and the volume is like a burden.
לתך – one-half of a Kor, and Kor is 30 Seah..
סומכוס אומר וכו' – and the Halakha is according to Sumkho, but if he added less than this measure, he is exempt if the donkey became injured and he only gives the cost of the addition alone.
והביא עליה שעורים. שהן קלים מחיטין:
חייב. בקלקולה אם הוסיף שלשה קבין. ולא אמרינן הואיל והשעורים קלין יש לו להוסיף עד כדי כובד לתך חטין שהוא משא החמור:
מפני שהנפח קשה. לבהמה כמשאוי. אע״פ שאין משאו כבד במשא החטין, הרי נפחן כנפח החטין והנפח כמשאוי:
לתך. חצי כור. והכור שלשים סאין:
סומכוס אומר וכו׳ והלכה כסומכוס. ואם הוסיף פחות משיעור זה, פטור אם הוזק החמור, ונותן שכר התוספת בלבד:

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.
