Hi Bill, it�s always nice to watch a baking video especially if there�s an MF involved. The bale kickers never caught on in the U.K., in fact I don�t think that I have ever seen one here. The popular methods over here were lift each bale by hand and pike onto a flat-bed trailer with someone stacking, then came a towed sledge that could be tripped to drop 8 or 10 bales in random order for hand loading onto a trailer or stacked into 6s or 7s for a squeeze type grab commonly called a Perry loader. Flat-8 grabs and sledges then came along and made it easier. One of the conveyor types and similar to one seen on a US video had a largely enclosed trailer and an elevator attached to the trailer. The elevator followed the line of bales and dropped them into the trailer. A rare sight over here was the New Holland �merry go round� but that was really limited to larger farms and was problematic. On our 10 acres we had a 16 bale squeeze made by Browns. Bales were stacked into two blocks of 8 or 9 and could be picked up independently. It was a great system for us as I could drop 16 bales at the foot of the elevator, the person loading the elevator would not be under pressure to move the 16 quickly and would have a few minutes breather before I brought the next load. This works fine if the barn is in the same field or very close. DavidP, South Wales

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
