What happens here

The presenter identifies an area of the field that is experiencing significant soil erosion. To mitigate this, he plans to use a large round hay bale. They carefully back a John Deere Gator UTV up to a pile of 1000-pound hay bales and, with the help of his assistant, roll one onto the UTV's bed. They drive the UTV to the eroded area and then manually roll the hay bale off the UTV and across the affected section. The hay acts as a ground cover, holding the soil in place and preventing further erosion.

Goal: To address soil erosion, the team transports a large round hay bale on a UTV and manually rolls it out onto a washing area of the field.
