Tiny Tractor Christmas with the Cows, Wood Stoves and More on the Farm!
What happens here
Upon reaching the fence line where the cattle are waiting, the farmer positions the hay bale with the tractor's front loader. He then dismounts and uses a utility knife, received from Chad at North Country Off Grid, to cut and remove the netting or string that binds the hay bale. The removed string is temporarily stored in the backhoe bucket. He reassures viewers about the durability of his 'tornado wire' fence, explaining that it's tightly installed with steel posts, making it resilient enough to withstand the cattle pushing against it.
Goal: Unwrap the hay bale and secure any loose material before distribution.
