Subject: Re: Don't do it!


I wouldn't even get near the top of that mixer with it running! You think you can grab the twine or net in time , but what if it catches you, and you are pulled into the mixer? A guy about 100 miles from here about 4-5 years ago fell into his vert. mixer cutting twine from bales, they took him out of that mixer with a scoop shovel! They wasn't enough left of him to put in a wheelbarrel. He had just bought the dairy about two weeks ago from his parents, had a wife, two little kids. It run for a couple of hours BEFORE he was missed. I don't care how much feed you waste, it isn't worth a life!

If your bales won't hold together after taking net or twine off, take and put some pre-cast cemment blocks up, and load hay with a bucket/grapple fork. It's alot cheaper to buy ten cemment blocks and a grapple fork than a casket.
