[QUOTE="Twisted, post: 1838393, member: 43517"] I wondered if I was the only one. I keep a stick on the tractor to wrap string around to pull it out. I had a couple of older guys as mentors and I would take care of their cows whenever they needed to leave town or were under the weather. I learned a lot from them even if it was what not to do. One guy I don't think even owned a knife and never cut a string or wrap. His wife passed away and I was going to clip his pasture for him as a way to help around the place. As I drove around looking at the layout, everywhere I looked was baler twine. I didn't want to put my cutter in it. So I was going to use his and it had a bearing out of the gearbox with a wad of twine around the shaft. His tractor had another wad of twine wrapped around a front spindle. I took my knife and after a while got it all cut off but the seal was already gone. He was really good with fences though. Another guy was very adamant about getting the twine off his bales and that every water tank was full and leveled off to the top. Great guy and beautiful stock, but he was without a doubt the worst that I had ever seen with his buildings and fences. I was always scared the barn was going to fall on me getting hay out and I hated when he would ask me to see after his cows while he was gone because I knew that I would be chasing them all over the county. Come to think of it, both of them were terrible with outbuildings. [/QUOTE]
