My neighbor needed some help back in early July, had 35-40 acres baled up, one guy did some large squares and another did small round ones. I stayed on the tractor gathering and loading them out onto his big grain truck. All the fields were hills, some of which I skidded the big squares to where they were safe to handle, same with the small rounds. I had a bunch gathered up at the crest of a good size hill, only flat area in the field, was several hundred maybe a 1000 yards to the bottom, where it was planted in corn, I managed to get one rolling, thinking about that same question you asked here, it started rolling, and slowly gaining speed, but being pretty good on a tractor/front end loader, and the fact that I was close enough, soon as it started to roll, the chase was on, I safely outran it and got the spear in front of it, it came to a stop, it would have made a nice path through the corn though. I figured I'd give it a try, if the thing had picked up any more speed, or was one of the big rounds, I'd have let it go, somehow I knew I could get it, without risking turning over the tractor or anything of the sort, it really did not get that far, I would have posted a photo, but I can't get into the hosting site for my photos at the moment. Was the first time I had ever handled those large bales, enjoyed the entire day spent in those fields, got em all in the barn before the rain the following day.
