I sure can relate, Goose, but shocking the windrowed bundles really wasn't much fun...had to keep track of where one hid the water jug to keep it from the sun!

Then you were ready to go, not forgetting extra twine bales, grease guns (mostly big oil cans and they were in a holder on the binder rear side.) Any water jugs or folded gunny sack seat pads had to be remembered, too!
