David Cooper on Balers

A baler did appear after I’d been there a few months, the first summer I was there I think, they got a hay baler and that was quite luxurious because it saved a lot of heaving with lifting the stuff up and raking it up.

You could just load a bale onto the trailer and someone would stack them up, three or four high, maybe a bit more and then they’d be taken back to the farm and put into a stack ready for winter, so that was more convenient to handle them like that.
