[QUOTE="hillbilly beef man, post: 1104892, member: 4786"] I am thinking outside the box here but why do you need to have your tractor out when it is snow covered or muddy? I am using the grid feeding system that Bez and a few others use and love it. Put your bales out in a grid spaced how far apart you need them to feed with ring feeders, and put a single strand electric fence around the bales you do not want them to eat on. When the finish what you have out for them, move the post and wire past the next row of bales, move your feeders and be done with it. I can do this much faster than I can get a tractor started and get bales out of the shed. I am going to have to start my tractor for the first time since November to put out hay this week, and this will probably be the only time I will have to get it out till the grass comes on in mid April.
