Sink that equipment in....


Whew....a celebratory post.    After tucking the hay rake behind some trees, and parking the hay wagon on high ground, we sank the last of the heavy equipment under cover. 

Getting the hay baler into the metal garage is always interesting, because the garage door opening is barely bigger than the widest part of the baler.   The baler is very long so it has to come in at a sharp angle, and the baler is difficult to back up. 

George drives and I make various hand signals from the ground, indicating if he is about to run into something, like the side of a building or another piece of equipment.  He is largely backing up blind, given the tight space.

This year, we not only got the baler into the metal garage, but the farm tractor too.   In previous years, we parked the farm tractor in the hay barn for the winter.  Since the farm tractor is now in the metal garage, I will not be running into this tractor in the dark, on the way to feeding the sheep....all winter.   I have tended to do that in the past.  Whoo hoo!!    My knees are already feeling better.
