You Were Right About Electric Tractors! No way it can do this!

What happens here

Drive the Solectrac electric tractor to the location of the stored round hay bales. Attach a hay spear (front loader attachment) to the front of the tractor. Carefully pierce the center of the first hay bale with the spear, lift it, and transport it to the designated grazing area. Position the bale in a straight line with other bales, ensuring sufficient spacing for cattle to access them. Repeat this process for multiple hay bales, creating a row for rotational grazing. For the first bale in the grazing area, remove the plastic twine wrapping manually to allow cattle access to the hay.

Goal: Move and position hay bales for the grazing system.
