That is a pretty stack! I broke out in a sweat just looking at it! I always preferred loading rather than unloading, it was mighty hot in the hay mow and no breeze.
That is a pretty stack, tight, real even, etc |
Thanks! Years of practice  I wish I would have counted before I left the field, because there was as 147 on it. I woulda done 3 more just for grins. And it was only about 96 that day, but not humid!

it was always drilled into me, and we took great pride in building Hallmark stacks, maybe to a fault, but the fellow I worked for had leased fields scattered all over, which meant the hay was transported over the highway up to about two miles. I don't need to explain to anyone on here that a nice tight, square, even stack stood a better chance of not taking a dump on the road.....that would be ugly. Sometimes it was hard because most of our fields slopped, some steep enough that we would slide across the wagon on the polished deck with the chaff on it. Hard to build a nice stack that way. Oh the good bad old days!

I am still confident of this;
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27

We had a salesman come to the Fire Dept. about 30 years ago and made this statement; "you can use this in ALL of your equipment, doesn't matter if it's 25-1 or 40-1 or 15-1 or whatever. WE (the company) will buy you a new one if it breaks down because of the gas/oil mixture." We started using it immediately and NEVER had a problem with it. I use it for everything that I have. I have trusted it for all these years since and never had a problem with starting anything. It's called Opti-2

There is an additive called "Start" that beats anything I ever saw to start a small engine. Just use as directed and it will go from won't ever sputter to start. We get it here at Orscheln Farm and Home Store. One of the best cold weather starter fluid is windshield frost remover. Not saying it's equal to ether but it's never failed me, and you don't have to worry about the famous ether lock. Engine will start and not have that awful detonation sound. I've used it down to 0 degrees. Below that I don't know. On my HD-5 I even used gas one time. Worked, but not so great.
