We were phoned early this morning with news that my wife's uncle had been seriously injured when a bale rolled back onto the tractor. The local news station reports the loader became "detatched". He is 87 and my wife didn't think he should have been out there , but I defend the man. He was doing what he had done since he was 8 years old, he was a healthy alert man who could pass for 67 and was as comfortable on a tractor as he was in an armchair. I don't have the details as to what "detatched" means but the family knows that they have to make a very important decision today so his condition must be pretty grave,implying life support but no one has used the term. I post this because I want everyone who moves bales of hay to hear this message, I don't want to hear of someone else being injured or killed . My wife gave me a big lecture this morning about how I move hay, I told her not to worry, I pile big rounds "One High"... yep, on the ground in a row, I know farmers have to pile them up but I don't take the chance..anyway for the Love of God be carefull when you are moving bales, I'll post later but it doesn't sound good...Mike in Exeter Ontario
