It’s a bad day…We're both super sick...so who cares for the animals
What happens here
The farmer drives the Solectrac electric tractor towards a row of large round hay bales, each approximately 4x5 feet and weighing 800-1000 lbs. He selects a slightly misshapen bale, indicating a preference for feeding out bales that might be harder to store or handle later. He then drives the tractor, with the bale loaded on the front forks, towards the cattle. He opens a metal gate to enter the pasture where the cattle are waiting.
Goal: Load a hay bale onto the tractor and move it to the cattle pasture.
