Weather is getting bad...for us down here, walk in the park for a lot of you guys up North but "we have to do what we have to do". Decided to make it a little easier.
Here I am ready to go. Got the Gin Pole mounted on the front hay spike: Piece of 2 7/8" drill pipe with a hook on one end an a pin to hold it on the hay spike. Bale of 5x4 hay on the 3 pt spike.
Underside of cover I made for my bales to keep the weather off them and an assistant in moving the hay ring when delivering a new bale so I can stay in the cab where it's warm. Made from a couple of spare rings, some 1" square tubing and corrugated sheet iron wired on top of a regular 8' dia hay hoop.
Picking up the ring
Setting it down on the new bale
Height shot showing plenty of height capability even if It were a 5x6 bale.
This helps keep the hay fresher, access when you have freezing rain and snow and if you have a cattle guard (which I don't) rather than a gate and don't cut the strings (which I do) you could accomplish the whole feeding process without ever leaving the cab.
