How did your day go Mike?

Very interesting. No manual labour these days. I just drove around following the baler. Towed the wrapper. Just pull up at the bale, push a few buttons, the 700kg bale gets lifted onto the wrapper and spins around as it gets wrapped. Push another button and it tips it back on the ground to be picked up by the fork lift. Then onto the next one. Had coffee and a pie delivered to me for lunch.
Bit different to the old days of blisters from hay bale twine , aching back and gritty sangas with a thermos of tea.
That was the last cut for the season, but I have been asked to help with the spring cuts.

Thanks Mike, sounds like a great day (notwithstanding the type of Pie, hopefully either Homemade or from a Country Bakery).

I did some Googling after your first post about Baling and found it very interesting. Then as searches go, discovered more and more. You have to tip your hat to the Farmers. You get a little "tip" , , , , well you were only there for a day

But you do get a BIG tip of the hat for your "helping a mate"
