How did you get that picture of me at age 11. I don't know where those other two guys came from on the trailer but they normally were nowhere to be seen. Always had a partial layer seven if the ground was smooth. Smooth ground as shown should handle seven layers if stacked correctly and the bales are uniformly made. They have five plus a partial. That is almost a twin to our JD tractor and NH square baler. The other difference is we wore broad-brimmed straw hats in hot weather, so this must be early cutting.
Driven in????? You must have few rocks and deep top soil. Wouldn't happen on any of my ground. Well maybe a little but only in places, not the entire length of the fence, and the odds of being able to drive corners and braces would be low.
I had two reasons for getting into a technical career.?ÿ I liked to tinker, and I had put in enough hay at 95?ø F.
Three big guys on the hayrack? We often just had me age 18 and my sister age 14.
Chain-link posts can be driven if the ground isn't too rocky. Anyway, the whole tension/compression nature of the structure means that individual posts don't have to be driven as securely as any single post in a t-post configuration would. They are mutually supporting.
We were at a fire origin one time, found a rebar with untouched plastic cap among the burned up everything. The little ring of rocks around it provided just enough protection to keep the cap intact.
