[AT] First cutting in the books

[David Bruce]

Wade used to hire part of his crew from his full time job to help with 
bale pick up and stacking.This unit when combined with the accumulator 
allows him to be as efficient as the crew he used to hire. He no longer 
grows horse hay here so I do not know if he still does the same but I do 
know he handles a lot of both horse quality hay in square bales and 
rolls of cow quality hay. All the equipment he bought used and 
refurbished.  An interesting routine he developed. I haven't seen him 
this week and I'm sure we know why.

But nowadays two at a time overloads them.   They are cheap to operate as I only have to pour in one or two beers afterwards.
