Straw Bale

Time for more straw in the orchard. This bale is not quite so well-wrapped as the last lot, so getting it off the ute and into the orchard was a challenge.
First step - pushing it with the tractor:
and tipping it off:
An extra strap to help hold it together on the short journey through the vege garden:
Tractor to the rescue again, tipping it onto its side:
Then two humans had to roll it through the vege garden and into the orchard. I'm not quite sure what happened at this point:
It hit something and wouldn't roll straight. But eventually
it was safely inside the orchard. No chooks or ducks escaped, and no trees were harmed in the manoeuvre.

All that manoeuvring would have been quite entertaining to watch. I am sure the chooks will enjoy their new play surface.

Handy small tractor. He would also be a helper in our garden. M.

Your tractor is cute!! LOL Sorry not what G wanted to hear! When round bales came in Dad used to have fun in the one paddock with a decent slope - doing a big burn out at the top of the hill so the bale would fall off and unroll down to the sheep! Hot dusty work manually moving this bale!

There must have been some strategic moves to get that in there.
