Funny thing reading this thread. My age is showing on me...hard! First, I never seen an automatic bale wagon until I went to Colorado on a hunting trip about 11 years ago. I watched in amazement as this man drove along on this contraption that gathered the bales and STACKED them...then dumped them out in a big rick.....da---um! The first round baler I ever saw was probably 25-30 years ago and barring a few running antiques, I haven't seen a square baler in use, since. That is also why I have never seen a kicker in action!!! As for $15 an hour......this generation is just smarter than mine/ours. There's a better way to make a buck than working like a brute...and they know it. I wouldn't buck hay for $15 hour.....I know how the man paying $15 an hour wants to drive his bale wagon then. I know how many bales I'd have to toss all the while going on a dead trot. Screw that! There was the day I could hoss a 70 pound bale higher than my head for hours on end, have hay seeds crawling down my neck and sweat burning my eyes while the sun beat down unmercifully.....for $2 an hour. Huh uh...nope, ain't doing that ever again. Sometimes being 50 isn't so bad....I'm a bit slower, but in many ways a lot smarter.
