we hated the farmers that bailed so tight that the bales were closer to 80 lbs. than 60, but we hauled their stuff just the same
I bucked hundreds of tons of hay when I was a kid. We also hated the 80lb bales. But then they invented the bale wagon and bale weight jumped to as heavy as 120 sometimes. They were made to be stacked by machine but they sure weren't fed by machine. Those things were responsible for lots of back injuries. Now they have the ton bales which save the backs. They're so big that they can only be handled by machine so nobody has to wrestle them.
