Not a bad job; just a PITA and hard on the ol' checkbook. :>)

Yep,
Everything that's hauled in has to be hauled back out after it's run thru the cow.

Wow, I'm not sure if the way you do that is the hard way or the easy way?
On our stackmovers to change a tire or work on wheel bearings(which was often) we just backed up to a slight incline and raised the deck enough to lift the wheels off the ground.
Was a pain crawling under there, especially to that inside tire...for sure be much less crawling around to yank the axles clear out if you're doing more than one hub/wheel assembly.

Hi Ron,
These goofy things won't even come out of there one at a time. The entire truck has to be rolled out.
When it's time to go back together, I'll see if the tilt will lift 'er high enough to roll 'em back under.

Sure makes it easier when you've got big enough equipment that you're not using jacks and prybars, doesn't it?
My dad wasn't a big farmer (35 cow dairy on 110 acres in the '50's) and sure didn't have big equipment (8N Ford was the only tractor he ever had), but he often said if it weren't for the loader on that tractor, he wouldn't be able to farm.

Oh yeah,
I agree with your Dad. Couldn't even function without the loader.

Yep a loader is one of the cheapest pieces of equipment you'll ever buy. We didn't have one until about 20 years ago, I don't know how we got along. A few years ago I bought a backhoe. I don't know how I got by without it either. Besides digging I use it to change tractor tires, setting trusses, breaking ice and a hydraulic press among a hundred other things.

That's a stack mover, originally designed and built for moving "loose" hay stacks, that generally weighed 10-12 ton each. A lot of stack movers were on modified heavy-duty tandem trucks in our area. Now its commonly used to move "packages" of big round bales. In our part of the world, stacking loose hay was common before the advent of the big round balers. Small square bales (often called "idiot cubes" in our area) were generally done only in limited quantities to put in the barn for calf or horse feed or to bale straw for bedding.

Is that a Lahman stack mover? We have one in SD that my brothers still use. Ironically, I have a tractor work client here in WA that is a nephew of the original owners. I asked him about it when I saw his name...

Here's a picture of the ol' rascal working. The bed tilts and the chains via the gearbox will load and unload.
