Tom: actually the hands weren't too bad as there were enough of them that no one person probably handled more than 800 bales in the two days. The guy that put in the hardest two days was the guy pulling wagons with the Cockshutt from field to barn and back. The only chance he ever got off the tractor was hooking wagons to baler in field. My dad had to make a few trips pulling a wagon with pickup, to keep him caught up. We had 4 - 20' wagons so there was always one on baler, one at barn, one behind tractor in transit and the one in transit behind pickup. With the exception of my dad we were all just young guys in our late teens and early 20s and I will admit there was not a great amount of socializing those few nights. One of my brothers was on the baler and my dad spelled him off while he ate lunch. A second brother was raking hay with 130 and no one remembered to take him lunch and he spent the day in field with a jug of water and some peas and radish he picked when he was near the vegetable garden. I being the oldest of 5 brothers was the guy designated the milk the 40 holsteins morning and night. I did toss some bales in between but not as many as most.
