Feeding Again!

Pasture season was short this year...60days.

Took this picture this morning of my little H 'cause my other loader is a few miles across the way moving bales.

Darned tractor thinks he's a snarling bulldog.

Oh, don't try this at home without a wide front. :>)

That hay pill could be stuffed in the maw of the Jolly green Giant with that loader. H Farmalls are wonderful. Jim
 
I've been feeding on the south side of the road since July 9th. Got'em weaned down to one every other day now.
 
Shoot it felt like I never quit feeding, been feeding 3 0r 4 bales every other day since the 1st of July. We did get a good rain the last couple days, hoping it might green the fescue and brome up a little.
 
Bet that would be fun in the mud!!! LOL. When I first did round bales I did not have a loader tractor that would pick them up. Friend had an old IH 656 with a even older trip type loader on it. We made brackets to put a three point bale spear in the bucket. It worked but the bale was so far out in front you had almost zero weight on the rear tires. You carried the bales real low. Every bump and you where spinning. LOL My wife refused to watch me stacking them in a barn. That was with a bale on the back. Without one it would lift the back wheels right of the ground.

I went and bought a better loader before the next year. Wife told to do that or buy better life insurance. Told me husband number two would like playing with all my tools too. LMAO She told that story every year at family get togethers.
 
bbbbbeeee carefull Alan-- good thing its flat there--i have seen an h get overloaded a bit and it sheard the gear off that drives the live pump--and that was the end of that-- sometimes you can get by with it and sometimes you dont -- you do what ya gota do -- my loader tractor is an H also and has serverd me for 30 years plus -- have a good day Allen!!
 
JEEEZ you scare me! I know you know what you're doing, but I just shake my head. A friend of mine tried to lift something awful heavy with an M one time and broke it in half at the belly pump. Turns out it was his dads M. It might not have had the belly pump in or something.
 
Take a careful look at that loader, its a good one! I think when they are mounted on the rear axle and braced way to the front there is not much stress on the tractor frame or castings. We had a Johnson work horse loader on an M that looked like that and we picked up a 3,500 lb concrete casting, after making a trip to the shop for more air in the tires! This was with a narrow front, and I drove away with it, on flat ground. I never tried to lift it more than a foot off the ground, I'm not stupid!
 
I'll bet those extra tie rods from the front bolster to the rear axles were stretched tight. What size are they, 3/4 inch dia?
 
First round bales we fed - we had a "B" John Deere. Made a sled out of 3/4" plywood, and a bumper for the front of the "B". Bumpered them on the sled and drug them into position. We thought we were running with the big boys. . .
 
That bale can't weigh that much,..it don't even flatten these itty bitty front tires. :wink:
