Thanks for strapping those two bales down. I don't know how many massive round bales I count in the ditch or the road every year because they think the weight is enough to keep them still.

They're deadly i tell ya! https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-devon-11195393

"An early member of 1970s British rock group ELO was killed in a "freak" accident when his van was crushed by a bale of hay, police said...

...Police believe the 600kg bale fell from a tractor on nearby farmland before rolling on to the road..."

How we end up with some cheap extra hay and straw for the steers every year.

Funny story from the early 70's.

Dad baled up a skunk, 2 string 90lb bale. He rolled the rolled the bale off by hand into the near by bar pit of a county road and went about hauling in bales.

A guy in a huge ass 70s boat of a car saw the bale...pulled over and put the skunk bale in his trunk!

Man, I miss that.... Wait, no,  I miss shooting rifles off the porch and catching 3-4 pound bass out of the tank.

Fixing fences, wrangling bales on a place that doesn't have a flat spot. Trying to keep the whore of Leon County in a pasture. Single handing steers.  Yeah, I guess I miss it all.

 

Good work,  Bobby.

Your wife is tuff...don't think I ever saw an alfalfa bale less than 110 pounds.  Usually around 125.

If you are using it on horses,  be careful about the blister beetle thing.

As someone who actually knows what they're doing, do you still find Clarkson's Farm funny? Or do you just shake your head?
