While we still have to unload wagons, the addition of the pan kicker really reduced the labor, heat and dust that goes with stacking on a wagon. To help eliminate unloading wagons on the heat of the day, we designed our new barn with wide and high enough doorways so we could pull our wagons into the barn, out of the heat and weather for unloading later when cooler - even another day. This has been a real blessing. I can fit 5 kicker wagons down the center of the barn (drive through) and if I’m good, 8 into it with plenty of room/space to unload. The goal was to be able to do 1,000 bales of hay by myself in a day and get them the off the field, out of the weather and in the barn for unloading later. I don’t mind unloading the wagons at a leisure pace early in the morning or late evening, I enjoy the exercise, especially with my iTunes library of bluegrass music is blaring in the background. It was the fire drill with our old shelters to get hay unloaded that was painful. When I retire and have more time, I may switch to an accumulator grapple system, but for now the kicker/wagons is really nice and the new barn, way past due.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
