Dave, My dad bought a JD square wire baler in the 50's. He would do costume baling for people. Back then it was hard to find anyone who wanted to work in the heat. He would hire migrant workers, now we call them Illegals.
I don't know what you would call the device dad found. It would attach to the side of our hay flatbed truck. If you had the bales lined up, the hay hiker would lift the bales up to about 4 ft above the truck bed. My brothers would stack them on the truck. I was the youngest so I got to drive the truck in granny gear and got yelled at is I couldn't drive at a steady speed. It was difficult for me to touch the gas peddle, see through the steering wheel and look out the window to make sure I centered the bale for the hiker. Dad would run the baler and drop the bales on the ground. He could bale faster and we didn't have to eat the dust from the baler.
Not sure if this device is still available or what it's called, but we were glad dad found one. If you are using square bales, you may want to get one, saves time and labor. geo

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
