Fertilizing in progress.

Help Support CattleToday:

Always liked how they clean up processed hay so I rented one to try out a few years ago and loved the feed utilization but a couple days snowing and I couldn't drag it around anymore.

I have a hair brain bar napkin idea but I need to collect lots more parts and pieces. Haha

You need a snowcat! Put a flatbed on the back to carry a couple bales, and arms out front to unroll. Glad I don't have to deal with as much snow as you do! Wouldn't be much fun pawing through the snow to find unfrozen ground beneath... bury yourself in a hurry!

Mine gets fed back on the hay field it came from too. They do a wonderful job of fertilizing.
this is something I'm planning on doing next year. Haven't baled anything here in 5 or 6 years. Planning to bale 80% of the place next year if everything goes to plan (which it probably wont)

Hoping that by feeding it back from where it came from, after strip grazing the fields in fall, my fertility won't drop much. I am not buying fertilizer. So we shall see!

Nah too one purpose. 8wd logging forwarder. Build a rack for the back for the summer and use the crane to load bales onto itself and haul to the stack. Mount a bale processor on the back for the winter and use remaining bed to haul some bales and the crane to load the processor.

Please post pics when you gitrdone!
 
With as much snow as you have stated here in the past that you get, I can't imagine that anything with wheels, rather than snow tracks, could ever get around reliably. That lake effect has to be tough to deal with.
 
You can get around with wheeled equipment as long as your smart about it and always be thinking about how your going to get yourself unstuck. Stick to level ground and places you have already driven and your usually alright.
 
I preset the bales out, and then I roll them out with my UTV. Right now I have 12 days of feed out where I do not need to start a tractor. I built some brackets and put wheels on the front of my UTV and unroll the bales like that. works great and cuts feeding time by almost 2 hours.
 
..........have a hair brain bar napkin idea......


That is why we live in the greatest nation on earth!
