What about it???
Our machine is a long bag, that you tie at each end.
Nothing compared to that Cadillac...

I don't know anything about them, but I was easily impressed with the "auto pilot" feature that kept the rows evenly spaced. I am sure with those kind of features and the remote radio control it is a very cheap machine..:shocked:

Ours has a remote control.
You can run the "mule" back and forth from the tractor.
It quit working on us though....

I'll be making LOTS of farming videos this summer.
Show ya'll how we do it up here.
Keep an eye on my YT channel.

Neat to see those still working. I assembled a few of those at the factory and paid for most of college doing custom work with one in the summer.

Beautiful country there AK. Do you mind me asking how much the bags cost that you use? And how much damage do rodents do, if any? Been thinking of doing this. Thanks.

 

[AKweldshop]

The bags are $200 each.
There's a guy in Canada who makes them.
We have no trouble with rodents up here.

We prefer this 150' long tube, rather than individually wrapped bales.

We feed 200 head of beef cattle all winter, and that's about 5-6 bales per day.
We just open the bag at one end, bale spear on our loader, and empty them out.

Any more questions, just ask.
I hope to make a few video's, showing it in action.
It will be 3-4 months till we need to use it.

Thanks,
~John

"Flex-a-tuber" name makes me think of a machine for bending potatoes.
