[AT] First cutting in the books

[Gunnells, Bradley R]

You can do all those bales on two beers???  Hahahaha…sounds like inexpensive labor to me.

You need to find a local kid to ride a rack behind the baler so you don’t have to handle them twice.  ;-)

Luckily, I can usually get my dad to come over and drive the tractor for me while I rack the bales. And yes, it usually requires a couple beers at the end to wash down the dust.

    I have two bale grapplers as well. There are at the end of my arms. They can lift one bale at a time and put it on the trailer. When my bale grapplers were new, they could do two at a time. 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.
