[AT] I spent $300 at a yard sale yesterday

[Indiana Robinson]

	Diana was looking at a yard sale ad Friday and said they 
had a bale mover listed. I was looking for a second 3 point 
bale spear to adapt to my loader bucket so I can haul a 
bound bale on the three point and a second on the loader. 
When we got there it was a trailer type and he wanted $350 
for it. My reaction was kind of luke warm at first so we 
left. As the day went on I got to thinking more about it 
and after lunch we went back and I bought it for $300. It 
is much like this one:

except it is almost 8 1/2 feet wide and framed like it was 
made to haul all the gold in Fort Knox in one trip. It has 
very large floatation wagon tires on it. The PO said he had 
used it to transport 2,000 pound bales on the road.
	He had replaced it with an Amish built big bale wagon that 
hauls about 8 bales at once. He loads that wagon with a 
large IHC tractor and loader.
	I decided I wanted this one for a couple of reasons. 
Mostly, I can use it behind anything, even without 
hydraulics.

excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide 
whether he 
is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.
