Now the cows can get a square meal.
horses too
Looks like he put some sweat equity into that.
Fine looking hand stacked load or did he use tractor and a bale fork?
Mule
Nice
tractor and grapple
That's cheating!
You must have an accumulator behind your Baler, 10 or 12 pack?
Mule
This thread represents alot of hard work, and the folks willing to do it. Hat off,,,
That brings back some memories from that dairy farm in Idaho, most of them bad. We had to load 'em by hand. 12 hours a day.
Here ya go Danny ,,,,,
Still sitting in the field but I rolled up 60 x 1600# big round bales in 5 hours yesterday afternoon. Doesn't seem like all that much BUT it was in 5 fields and the longest windrow was 200 yards long. Lots of turns and moving field to field.
That's double what I usually attempt but the 'weather guessers' said rain last night--of course they missed badly.
After Forgemonkey’s photo tune up, I can see it’s likely 15 pack?
small two string, 55/60# ?
yes sir 15
probably average 45# good clean Bermuda horse hay small two string
221 today
thank you Mr. Bill
'Tis the season. Yesterday we took delivery of our first load of cow hay for the coming winter. We're only doing 40 of the small round bales (450#) but that should get us through. The horse hay should arrive in September.
@danielgage A good haul, but it looks like that trailer could use another axle.
yes sir customer hired him
put some boards together to make strap down better
216
I’m glad I saw this before the first one fell over ,,,,,,,,, Bwahahaha!!
The alfalfa bales we were bucking in Idaho were 95 pound. Two guys, 12 hours, one thousand bales in the barn. Nine cents a bale, which we split.
Don't know why they make the bales so heavy up there.
thank you Mr. Bill lol
Allen I don't know why anyone would want anything to handle by hand that heavy
my 45 pounders get heavy enough for me by the end of the day
"but it looks like that trailer could use another axle."
WHY? 221 bales @45# each is 9945#. Well within the load rating of 2x 7000# axles especially with 15-20% on the tow vehicle.
That's a lot of hay.
Now that's a 'hay belly'.
