One of my friends raises longhorns as a hobby. He has most of a 1/4 section, so lots of hay fields. When he first bought the place, he went to a farm equipment sale. There was the small square hay bailer that no one was bidding on. She he got it super cheap. Then he used it the first time, and remembered he was not 21 anymore, and tossing bales was all he could do, and he was super sore for a week after that.
He took it back to the equipment sale and put it on sale, and bought a round hail bailer. Lots easier on his back. He bought a farm truck, and installed the spike on the back to move them around. He usually has excess hay he donates to some fellow rancher in need after a fire.
He was returning from the feed store one day when some dipstick was tailgating. He just lowered that spike, and for some reason the tailgater decided to back off.
