I have been busy today!!! Started right after chores hauling hay from a rented farm about 10 miles away. Can haul 30 bales at a time. I was loading them myself but here two of my sons unloaded while I wound up straps. I was averaging 1.75 hours per load. I got six hauled and the 7th/last one loaded but it was dark and foggy so I will bring it home tomorrow if the fog lifts.
I took some pictures with my phone but they did not store correctly and I can not upload them to this site. So here is a picture from earlier this year. I kind of miss hauling hay but the DOT got so picky that doing it for hire just was not profitable anymore. We had to have state width permits, county permits, then the worse was Towns and cities got into the act. When we started if you only hauled Ag. products, where under 12 foot wide and 14 foot tall, you had one state permit that cost $30 a year. The permits got to costing over $1000 a truck/trailer set per year just in Iowa, WI and IL was higher. Then DOT mandated that every row of bales had to be strapped if you where on a state highway. That meant 15 straps on every load. Often we were only hauling 5-10 miles. How I have the load in the picture straped was totally legal until 4 years ago. It still is if your not hauling for hire. I run farm/county plates and only haul our own products. So I am/was totally legal.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
