    Obviously, you have always done it a different way than when I grew up in Northern Saskatchewan. It always seemed to be +30. And we did square bales onto a bale wagon pulled behind the tractor. Throw them once onto the wagon and then again to stack them. Load the wagon to a ridiculous amount. Then back to the yard to unload and stack them again.
    Same way I did but one thing is for sure... it sure makes the beer taste good!

    Sounds like home right there. SW MB but yes square bales made haying ever so fun. Stook em' 5 in a bundle off the back of our New Holland 275 Square Baler, then a flat deck would follow along with our 2940 JD picking them up and slapping them on the trailer. We would sort and stack as quickly as possible and get them back to the yard.. Of course you stack them as high as the loader can lift them on the back of the trailer.... is there really any other way to do it?

    By hand is how we did them. One at a time. Made for a dang long day, but I have to admit, you didn't stay a gangly 13/14 year old for long. And yeah Jay, the beer did taste good.
    My wife calls me a pessimist. I claim I'm a realist. But I'm probably just an a$$hole with an attitude problem.

    Thank you, Sammy is very special to me, she follows me everywhere, a great companion. I have always owned at least one dog, they have all been very dear to me. Our dogs have always been farm and/or hunting dogs, so although allowed in the house most of them have always slept outside, even in a Manitoba winter. None of my dogs have been alowed upstairs. Sammy sleeps on the floor beside the bed, upstairs, not sure how she managed that, but she did it!
