I was told to make some green feed bales today so I got Mandy going on the sprayer and then came home to get this

hooked up to this.

Thusly.

Then a quick check of all the parts and add grease and chain lube where needed[doesn't take much as I put it away greased and clean].

These here baby's can and have made many a strong man bawl in misery. Most cantankerous thing that is mechanical.
Set your bail tension.

Make sure you have twine[and no hornets :argh:] and you are ready to go.

Couple shots of the land scape on my way to the field 3 1/2 miles away.

I'm thinking there are probably 10 coyoyes in these 2 square miles at any time right now.
And just as I get her in field position and ready to rock and roll.

Flipping unbelievable :argh:. We haven't had enough rain here this year to get a cotton ball damp and this cloud comes overs and just dumps enough to make the feed damp.
So I come home to chat with a few of these.

Now I'm going to make and eat an egg sandwich and go call a coyote :yoyo:
That bailer looks about like the ones I used to use. Haven't baled in years and don't like the memories of being in the mow with the 120+ temperature. Most people now seem to be going to either the large round bales or rectangular bales that are about three times the size of the one I used to throw.
Jerry
P.S. At least you now know what you need to do when you need a little rain.
Sorry Barry...I dont like your bailer..... :nono: .......To many back breaking memories.... :laf: :laf:
Did ya get a coyote? :biggrin:
I like the "thusly" part :roflmao: :roflmao:
Is that even a word? :confused:
Brings back some bad memories but a lot of good ones also.

You got to drive the tractor? The only time I did was when the farmer got called away and I drove and had to let the bales drop on the ground. Then I got to throw them up onto the wagon when the farmer returned. That was worse than bucking bales on the wagon. But I was getting $ .75 an hour.
Jerry
It good you still have that old bailer since that are going to outlaw the round bails. cc
You just took me back to my summers as a kid. The marathon baling sessions trying to beat the weather..Stacking bales in the mow... And getting $3.00/hour! I would'nt trade it for all the world!
Dave
I was lucky to get 5-10 dollars for the whole day....... :rolleye:
Back in my day :biggrin: we got a penny a bale each. We worked sun up till dark, got 1000 bales in the barn and got $10.00. I figured out real quick I was going to go to school. :eyebrownod:

How many are in a "whack" of coyotes?
I have spent many a mile behind a bailer and what do you mean you guys got paid. All I ever got was supper.

Slag it's an old term and you can find out for yourself. You take a good limb and whack a hornets nest, now count how many you get with each whack [when you're done could you let us know the results please] :wo:

Damn you were rich! I can remember asking Grandpa if I got paid to help him. His reply "Sure do, you get to eat tonight and you have a bed to sleep in" I did end up getting paid thirty-five cents an hour.
I mean if there was an exttra fammily member there that day then there might have been a chance at some home made ice cream for dessert but come on, to actually get cash......... WOW
Thats ok, I get the idea :biggrin:. I dont need no hands on learning experience to define the term whack. :innocentwhistle:
I use to enjoy hauling hay when I was a kid. Would help ya get strong for football season.
NOW.......forget it!! Ain't lifting much heavier than a fork or a shotgun. :nono:
Nice pictures of your buddies.....ya know.......the ones that are like Alscalls. Turkeys. :yoyo: :eyebrownod:
My wife could knock you down with a bale of hay ....... :laf: :laf:
See :innocentwhistle:

Semp my wife thanks you as I read your reply outloud for her and she started :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: and yelling that she had the day off now :wo:
I may live where a frog has moved to but to call it frog country is waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy out to lunch :argh:.
Is that a common color phase up there, ever see a black one?
I understand frogs are in season.
They're always in season aren't the Barry? :wink:
John our coyotes don't vary much in coloration at all. 40 miles south of my house they do get a bit bigger and their heads have a different build. These coyotes when you get a big pale one will sell in the top lot at any fur auction. Around home we get more of the "bushy" coyote. I have never seen a color phase other than these and even the coydogs I get have this coloration. It would be neat to see a black one but I wouldn't be able to shoot it cause I wouldn't be sure.
Yes sir guys certain frogs are in season year round just like coyotes and some people that lump me and frogs together. I learned a long time ago that he with the most patience usually wins a battle. :laf:
Thanks, so as not to hi-jack your thread I'm going to post a few questions in the predator section.

You are welcome and I think your chances of being able to hijack a thread of mine are far more remote than your chances of getting a black coyote.
Jeb I'm sorry but something got on my mind and I forgot to nswer you :doh2:. I'm from Alberta, Canada. That land north of most of you that holds the odd frog.
Al I think you'll like the story :wink:.
I would have to see the story in order to like it....... :eyebrownod:
