Dave, My dad bought a JD square wire baler in the 50's. He would do costume baling for people. Back then it was hard to find anyone who wanted to work in the heat. He would hire migrant workers, now we call them Illegals.
I don't know what you would call the device dad found. It would attach to the side of our hay flatbed truck. If you had the bales lined up, the hay hiker would lift the bales up to about 4 ft above the truck bed. My brothers would stack them on the truck. I was the youngest so I got to drive the truck in granny gear and got yelled at is I couldn't drive at a steady speed. It was difficult for me to touch the gas peddle, see through the steering wheel and look out the window to make sure I centered the bale for the hiker. Dad would run the baler and drop the bales on the ground. He could bale faster and we didn't have to eat the dust from the baler.
Not sure if this device is still available or what it's called, but we were glad dad found one. If you are using square bales, you may want to get one, saves time and labor. geo

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
