I made one similar to WES, only used a plastic barrel, but that was a bad idea. It sits out in the sun most of the time, and the sun is destroying the plastic. It's still functional, as it's poured full of concrete, a half barrel. I didn't put the top link bracket far enough forward, but it was easy enough to weld on extensions. I did put a hitch on the back so I can still pull trailers etc. I would recommend using a steel barrel, a little more than half the height, and roll the top over so it's not sharp. Then build the framework inside it, but don't fill it full of concrete, leave it down about 3 inches, so you can store chains etc. in the top. Drill holes just above the concrete so it doesn't retain rainwater. I wish I could build another one and do it right! I seldom use mine as I found some wheel weights that are about 175 lb. each, they help a lot, and most of the summer I have the brush cutter on the back.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
