I hauled two 100 bale stacks of alfalfa a couple days ago with my stack retriever. When I got to the destination, the retriever trailer had a hard time raising up to set the stack on the ground. I called the grower and asked him how heavy he baled the alfalfa. He said it was a little dry when he baled it so he set the tensioner at 375. I think those bales were the old school 16 bales to the ton. The buyer was happy that he got his money's worth. I did not want to throw those bales around by hand to lighten the front of the stack so I could raise the bed.
Reminds me of old days stacking hay by hand. Good thing it doesn't happen too often.
Hope the boys and wife are doing well . Man that was a line of customers

Man your tough stacking bales bare handed!
If it were a lot of bales, I’d have my gloves on.
It’s better to tie the edge bales with twine to reduce the risk of the bales collapsing… BTW that was some good stacking with just bare hands! 👍
He loads pretty quick. Imagine if the truck was a 1/2 mile closer, How quick would that be?
Is that at LKH Farms in Salome??
Nope. I know them, but this is Buckeye.
What is customer appreciation day? Is there a sale on hay?
Hi, we do it once a year and we offer huge huge discounts on hay, bagged feed, and other stuff.
Early season or late season green hay and a PTO baler…. What could go wrong.
Manties is what you were looking for
