Load Hay Bale onto Unroller

the back let me apologize to you because you're going to have some shadows the sun is low in the sky right now it's always low in the sky this time of year so what we've got here is the bail and roller itself has a hand crank with a strap right here okay you release a little flip switch right here and you can lower your strap or you can raise it up and what we want to do is we want to get these pins lined up with the center of the hay bale and i want to show you all this before we put it in a hay bale just so you know how it all operates so again to raise and lower all you do is you release tension you flip this little switch and that lowers it down okay flip it back locks it into place flip that switch again and you can jack it up you can actually leave that switch where it is and it just winds up just like that this is strap material much like seat belt material i'm going to tell you something how many of you guys been to a junk yard have you ever seen a seat belt fray and break no matter how much sunshine or how much sun damage you take that strap's easy to replace if it does have to be replaced but it's going to last for years and years this critter is a lifetime purchase okay so that's how that works we're going to crank it up and what we're doing by cranking it up is raising these arms so we'll lower it down a little bit see how that lowers that arm and raises that arm i have a wingspan of about six foot six inches so this will take a huge bale and what you got to do is you'll back up right into your bale you'll find the center of your bale and you'll push these spikes right here into the bale just like so okay now the end of the spike is in the bail we'll get you a little close-up of that here's your bale spear okay you just push that into your bail right there's the tip of it can't hardly see it but this will get shiny once it's used a few times okay i'm gonna push that guy out just like so now here's something of note underneath here you see that that's for riding along the ground okay so this will not dig down into the mud or catch a stump as this thing is slid forward here it has the potential of catching something like a rock or a stump and that would bend this apparatus greg thought this through and i built this slide right here this slide slides along the ground so that you don't accidentally catch a stump with your spike so we'll slide both spikes out just like so and you don't have to worry about them dropping out the end there's a chain…
