So, I have a few ideas in my head already but I figured i would see if anyone around here had any genius thoughts. So, this year i bought 30 tons of hay- 1/2 in small bales and 1/2 in big rectangular bales. I wanted to try to ease my way into using big bales because the small bales are getting harder and harder to find and the cost is more. Anyhow, I have a ford 2000 with a loader, but only a bucket. I do not have forks or bale spears and I probably wont have them this winter. Worst case I will flake off the bales into a trailer, but it's time consuming. I just built a bale feeder out of some scrap metal and i would like to move a whole bale into it. Building some bale forks right now is not a good option with our recent snowfall. I figure I can pick them up with some lifting straps, but that's a pain too. So, does anyone have any ideas of a better way to move these? They approximately weight 1000-1200lbs and are currently single stacked 3 high in 1 row.
