Arkansas Bale Mover
 ✖  |
Sometimes when I have to move a big round bale and my tractor is not available, I use what I call an Arkansas Bale Mover. It consists of a round 1-in. dia. steel bar about 7 ft. long. I sharpen one end and weld a hand-sized steel plate to the other end, attached to a 15-ft. length of chain. I attach another hand-sized plate to the other end of the chain, drilling a hole through the center of the plate. I insert the bar into the center of the bale so about 1 ft. sticks out of either side, and then slip the plate with the hole in it over the sharpened end. Then I just loop the chain over the ball hitch on my pickup and roll it to wherever it needs to go. Works great. (William Sowell, 11798 Hwy. 110, Shirley, Ark. 72153)
