So we started haylage at Bob’s on Wed. It is not drying too fast, so it was a little bit wetter than we’d like. The first load broke a shearbolt on the old New Holland wagon. So we just didn’t load it to full for a few loads. But then I put an extra short row on, and it broke the shearbolt again, and again, and they couldn’t get the load off without Bob forking off the back half of the load first. Then it worked fine! They checked out everything and couldn’t find anything wrong! So then next day, we put half a load on it, no problem, full load next, and Bob was forking again! So now we are looking for divine intervention, ’cause we are kinda stumped. (and Bob is a little reluctant to fork off the rest of the loads?!)
