you want a discount on a bail spear on a pallet for it those are the two implements we're going to be using today we work with tighten attachments and they provide coupon codes for my viewers which is super duper cool so the bail spear we're using today is not a tighten attachments bail spear some off-brand I don't know what the heck it is however if you want a discount on a bail spear I believe Stoney spike is a discount code and there's also discounts for pallet forks it's called I think it's Stoney fork so it'll be links down the video description in case you need this stuff for your homestead let's talk about the hay bails we're getting ready to use see these hay bales they have snow on them the top portion of this hay bale about that deep is probably going to waste even the sides are going to waste here's something that I did and I messed up I want you guys to know I messed up don't but your hay bills beside each other because you're going to make another rotten spot right in between there so there's a rotten spot on the top there's a rotten spot on the bottom and there'd be a rotten spot in between the bales so it's something to think about things that I've learned and things that I didn't know what we're gonna do here is grab up this bale and take it over the hill to the cows if I thought about it I wouldn't have it staged right here in other words I don't want to drive hay bales or move hay bales or move equipment we want to think about what's going to have the least impact on the land and what's going to have the least impact on the hay bale so next year we're gonna set our hay bales up we have some plastic pallets we're gonna probably buy our hay got a little eye-opener when our hay baler caught on fire we could have lost our tractor our baler there's a whole lot of equipment that I'm having to maintain and if you really think about it I'm wasting money by bailing my own hay I should be buying my hay when I can buy it for 25 or 30 dollars a round bale it makes no sense to Bale it tell me what you think I supposed to comment down there in the comments section do you think we should go in and get rid of our baler and all of our hay equipment the guy I bought my stuff from got rid of his because it's so cheap to buy hay I enjoy it but gosh when it comes to dollars and cents so what are we gonna do we're gonna waste money we're going to spend $35 on our own bales or go ahead and buy bales for 25 bucks have them here on the farm and bring that carbon…
