Prepare Hay Bale Unroller and Second ATV
At 5:25 in
Trouble on The Farm....This has Never Happened!
What happens here
The farmer switches to a red Honda Foreman ATV and drives to the hay storage area. He uses the ATV to hook up and load a large round hay bale onto a 'Great Judy Bale Unroller'. The unroller is a specialized piece of equipment designed to spread hay evenly across the pasture. He drives the ATV with the loaded unroller towards the location where the cattle are gathered, explaining that unrolling the hay distributes grass seeds, which are then trampled into the soil by the cows, acting as natural fertilizer and promoting new growth. He also notes the muddy conditions from recent rain, which makes driving challenging and can damage the land by creating ruts.
Goal: Load hay onto the unroller using a working ATV for distribution.
