How to Move Hay Bales: Improvising

Our family has been living in the country for 6 years, but we still lack some equipment most farms consider essential for a successful operation. 

Andrew includes a video of how we picked up our hay bales this week.  Check it out here. 

For quite a while we didn't even have a truck, so we used our station wagon to pull a small utility trailer and took only a couple of bales at a time.  This proves you CAN make do if you have to. 

It's certainly a good thing our neighbor's equipment creates the smaller round bales, or we might have had a problem.

Samson loves it when the guys move bales ... Lunch is just underneath.  He loves mice.
