We do it with small quantities. It's actually kinda fun if you don't have much else going on. We do it just like in that video.

We'll do about 4 acres like that. It goes a lot quicker than you'd think.

forking it out by hand is a pain. You gain a new appreciation for just how much hay gets compacted into one bale. But even using a forklift, you'll have to get good at judging the amounts. Otherwise you'll tend to under-feed.

I don't think there's any real trick to it. Just climb up on your pile from time to time and tamp it all down as you stack it. It doesn't really self-compress very well.

I will say it's not the kind of work you want to be doing if you've got any kind of heart condition.

There is a good reason balers were invented!
