Went out to our "hay guy" to get a pickup load for Mrs. to take up to daughter today (the acorn-ette didn't fall far from the tree). While there, he showed me his "new toy"- a NH 1048 StackLiner. Its a machine to pick up, transport and stack small bales. Go down to the post "WyoDave" about a half page down, and see one in action.
In the past, we've taken two trailers and a pickup out and parked them in his field, and his crew loads them up at their convenience. I think he's going to try to pretty much "go it alone" this year (I could see last year that he and his crew had pretty much had enough of each other by the end of the season- he seems like a graduate of the "Dave2 People Skills" course sometimes).
So its shaping up like I'll haul my own, with the Stackliner. About 15 miles to his place, and the thing goes about 45 on the road. Sure looks like fun to me!
Another complication in his operation- he and wife had a baby in February- at age 40, they had long since given up on having one! His wife is back to her RN job, so when hay customers call, he asks if they can bring one person to help load, and one to play with the baby! Needless to say, little Gunnar (yeah, he's Scandahovian) is pretty darn flexible- grins at everybody- kind of a distraction to have to coo-coo a baby while trying to load hay.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
