Don't make this Stupid Mistake! That Cost the Farm!
What happens here
The farmer uses the Solectrac's hay spear to lift a large round hay bale. He carefully removes the strings from around the bale, placing them into the attached yellow bucket, to prevent the cows from ingesting them. He then uses a specialized electric fence wire setup with step-in posts and reels to create a new grazing section for the cows. This system allows him to control exactly where the cows graze, promoting soil health through bale grazing. He drives the tractor and hay bale towards this new section.
Goal: Deliver hay to the designated grazing area for the cows
