I was too tight to buy a skidloader during my livestock days so I pitched a lot of it by hand. Pitched it in and I pitched it back out. Did it until I was 45 or so and it kept me in shape.

Bundles were falling out of the forks and dropping to the ground before they made it to the feeder and some of the guys pitching were old farmers to boot.
Oh well, I guess knowing how to handle a fork isn"t one of those skills we need to brag about much.
