What happened to the Unicorn Toyota Pickup?? Oil is everywhere!

What happens here

Using a Solectrac electric tractor equipped with a Tarter front loader, the creator transports large round hay bales across the uneven pasture. A crucial part of this process is removing the sisal twine that binds each hay bale. He carefully pulls off the twine, explaining that ingesting it can be harmful to the cows. He mentions that the sisal twine is less problematic than nylon twine, but still advises removal. This action is part of the farm's regenerative farming practices, where unconsumed hay and manure contribute to soil enrichment, eliminating the need for commercial fertilizers.

Goal: Provide hay to the cattle using specialized farm equipment.
