We haven’t had a hay thread in a bit! 😁😁

I’m really glad I found out that loop for the excess strap.

It was sort of a “well, duh” moment.

Exsprain prease.



My haybloads with a clamshell grabber on his skid steer. I slip a snatch strap around them to drag off the trailer, then move with the hay spear on my B 2650.

I sold my 22 ft tri axle flatbed,and now haul 3x3's in my 14 ft dump trailer. I can put 8 on it ,but a little sticks out the back so,I tie the doors together.
I dump them near the barn door and my Kubota can pick the 800 #bales up with hay spears. Then I put them in the hay barn.I can't lift 3x4's though. I use the chain saw to cut the 3x3's in half long ways so it is easier to feed.I don't like to set a whole bale out there as a 1/3 rd of it would get wasted.

IB, seems I remember you had your bales shrink wrapped, or something like it to preserve them?

Wrapped haylage bales. We only feed them in winter temps. Like other “lages”, it kind of ferments and preserves the hay. Horses fall on it with glad cries.

Some outfits wrap the round, leaving the ends open. For weather protection storing on round side.

Good to see hay not in those little rectangular bales whose sole purpose was the torture of the indentured servants forced to handle them.

Have done thousands of those little bastards over the years. Then, we got smart.

Still get 20-25 to feed in the trailer and between rounds.

Ten cents a bale between 3 of us, stacked in the barn. Glad to get it in 1969-70, had money to take girls out. 5 bucks would buy her dinner, pay to go to show, gas for truck back then. If you were lucky, you would get lucky! Gas was 20.9 a gallon in 69.


I’m not a 100% sure on the ten cents a bale, that a 100 bill for a thousand bales. That was over 50 years ago.

Hanco, we got a quarter a bale.

Beer money. Gas money.

Young wippersnappers! I never did, but in my day, a penny a bale was a good wage. laugh

Hell,I got to eat all the corn on the cob I wanted, all the fresh sweet cream on berries, and a dip in the farm pond when done. I don't recollect getting any money out of it.

I got $1.25 an hour during the same time frame. Not sure what that would figure out to per bale. Our gas was 36.9, 35.9 if some station in the big town wanted to draw customers. There was the occasional gas war - remember those?

Gas wars! Our Army Reserve Unit was in Sioux City when a gas war was on.
Gas like, say 25 cents a gallon.

Dan Snider had the credit card, he asked the operator for a truck discount.

It may have been 10 cents apiece-30 cents a bale. The other two boys are dead. 69 and 70 was no fire ants. I hauled a little in 71 after I graduated, fire ants all in the bales. I was done after we got it all out of the field.

We were hauling for George Mitchell of Mitchell Energy. His wife Cynthia made us lunch. The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion is named after her. He could certainly afford 30 cents a bale.
