Spent many days as a young fella baling hay with Leslie’s father Addy and the David Brown using a bale slipe. It was my job to ride on the bale slipe, when it was full, release it, run over the bales and jump on the back of slipe to close gate and await the refill of bales. 😊😊😊

Brilliant and your memory of bale sleighs and the miracle of farm kids surviving the myriad of dangers back then are spot on. No H and S back then .

That brings back memories, in the 1980's a neighbour used to bale all our barley straw in wee squares with a Bamford super 59 baler and a ford 7600 power plus, we do our own wee square baleing now every year with a Jones 12T square baler. Brilliant video, its just the way I remember it when I was a lad.

I remember when was lad baling conventional bales in a X plate International 674 with flat 8 and flat 8 grab then stacking by hand. Great vid and saying that the smaller conventional bale seems to be on an increase. Maize and customers seems be about foot shorter then usual this year due to a hot summer.

Stacking small squares is a memory that many people will always have Christopher. Some of the best summer days spent at the bales.
