    Looks like he put some sweat equity into that.

    Fine looking hand stacked load or did he use tractor and a bale fork?

    You must have an accumulator behind your Baler, 10 or 12 pack?

    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.

    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.

    '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.

    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.

    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.
