Move round bale with pallet forks?

   / Move round bale with pallet forks? #21  
Wonder if some of those fields with bales left in them were custom baled for the land owner, and the land owner never got to them?
What farmer in their right mind would spend all that time & money only to leave his “paycheck” in the field for that long? (unless death, disability, equipment that can’t be repaired)

The one I posted was the same operator. He always fed hay out of the field all winter rather than hauling it off to the barn yard. Anything he didn't feed would stay in the field.

Another haymaker, rented land, 2022 google photo, bales were made in 2021 and still there this summer, hay never cut since. Guessing he didn't rent it again and the owner didn't want it hayed.

This is my neighbors field today, he has picked up some on the field next to mine, but if you look out past his barn, there's a lot of them out there ... He cut and baled the beginning of June, a bit late, but we had a very wet spring, then drought through the summer!

Well, my issue will soon be gone. He showed up today and made two trips with two trailers.

By my count, he will need two more trips like that and a final trip with one trailer.

I'm really glad I can help him with getting hay and he can help me with cutting my fields.

Win, win!

I don't have a class scheduled for another week so it should all be gone by then.

Thanks, everyone, for the advice.
