My neighbor needed some help back in early July, had 35-40 acres baled up, one guy did some large squares and another did small round ones. I stayed on the tractor gathering and loading them out onto his big grain truck. All the fields were hills, some of which I skidded the big squares to where they were safe to handle, same with the small rounds. I had a bunch gathered up at the crest of a good size hill, only flat area in the field, was several hundred maybe a 1000 yards to the bottom, where it was planted in corn, I managed to get one rolling, thinking about that same question you asked here, it started rolling, and slowly gaining speed, but being pretty good on a tractor/front end loader, and the fact that I was close enough, soon as it started to roll, the chase was on, I safely outran it and got the spear in front of it, it came to a stop, it would have made a nice path through the corn though. I figured I'd give it a try, if the thing had picked up any more speed, or was one of the big rounds, I'd have let it go, somehow I knew I could get it, without risking turning over the tractor or anything of the sort, it really did not get that far, I would have posted a photo, but I can't get into the hosting site for my photos at the moment. Was the first time I had ever handled those large bales, enjoyed the entire day spent in those fields, got em all in the barn before the rain the following day.

Plastic insulation has cracked, mice have eaten through the older clothed style coverings and the exposed wires have reacted to winter moisture and salts by turning blue and powdery. Terminal ends have corroded, rusted or just plain evaporated away. Aged wires not only keep an engin
