What happens here

Upon arrival at the neighbor's field, the farmer uses a John Deere 5075E tractor equipped with an H240 loader and bale spears to load the hay bales onto the Belmont gooseneck trailer. He carefully maneuvers the tractor to pick up the round bales and stacks them two layers high, ensuring stability. After successfully loading all 17 bales, he explains his preference for a hydrostatic tractor for loading/unloading tasks due to its ease of operation (foot pedals for forward/reverse) compared to a geared tractor. He contrasts this with the geared John Deere tractor he previously owned.

Goal: Load 17 hay bales onto the gooseneck trailer.
