With the second generation now working alongside us I don't do near as much in the tractors as I used to.CountryMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14761724941259576940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237865919006017597.post-56765048612830527632018-02-10T17:56:26.440+11:002018-02-10T17:56:26.440+11:00I thought that was the case, but I just couldn'...I thought that was the case, but I just couldn't imagine the bales stacking so brilliantly, as the tray became perpendicular. Do I assume that you also operate this machine?Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051160693725705930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237865919006017597.post-37690886638494601862018-02-09T07:24:26.203+11:002018-02-09T07:24:26.203+11:00So much easier than the way we used to store hay!!...So much easier than the way we used to store hay!!!

Once you have 6 on the tray, the whole tray tips up as shown above and you drive away. We group our bales like this in mini stacks of 30, then another tractor with trailer takes them back to stack into the hay shed. <br /><br />This machine takes a bit of practise to use but once you get the hang of it, it is quite a fun machine to operate.
