International Women’s Day
What did I do for International Women’s Day? Well….
We had to go and rescue a bale of hay from the woods at the edge of the upper pasture because Mr. H-, who tilled my small garden, said we should use hay over a year old instead of the new bale we had Mr. B-, who cuts the pasture for hay, leave for us.
I wanted to ride with Randy when he did this, but there was no place to ride on the tractor. So he told me to go ahead and drive it!! We switched out the front end loader with the bale spear(one wicked looking attachment) that we found while clearing the crape myrtles.
And off I went on the Massey Ferguson 471. After chugging up to the pasture, I followed Randy’s hand signals, speared the bale (a 6-ft diam HUGE bale, mind you), raised it up, and transported it down to the blueberries for mulch. I have to admit I wouldn’t want to do it every day because the tractor is one rough ride, but what a thrill!
