[QUOTE="ALX., post: 431010, member: 6932"] I was baling the last of my alfalfa yesterday and when I was done I pulled up to the gate to go through the barnyard. The cattle are yarded right now to go through first round of vaccs on Thursday. They have been on droughted pasture up until now. I open the gate and get through as the cattle come trotting toward me smelling that wagon load of alfalfa. So I stop the tractor once I thought I was through the gate and run back to close the gate.( There is no perimeter fence in the field I just pulled out of ). You guessed it - I hadn't pulled in far enough, the gate won't clear the back of the wagon by a foot. What ensues is an hour long game of dare and negotiations. Any of you who have pulled a rack behind a thrower baler know it is a LONG way up to the tractor. Any time I go to move the tractor 40+ hungry, and might I add disobedient, cattle head for the open gate. 15 bales of sweet hay tossed well enough away from the wagon to distract them, was the price they finally accepted and they decided to let me go. :lol: I kept my temper through most of it, and smiled often saying - Boy you got a LOT to learn yet. :lol: [/QUOTE]
