Small Bale Hay being baled and stacked in 2015/16 near Bishops Waltham on the South Downs NP

Some old video, filmed on an iPhone 6 of baling and gathering in of small bale hay on a farm on the edge of Bishops Waltham on the western side of the South Downs National Park.
Featuring an Eight Bale Sledge, a genius machine, could only have been invented by a farmer. The International Baler was in great form pulled by the Zetor Tractor. Baling hay is easy with this small tractor set up.
Hay is grass, legumes, or other herbaceous plants that have been cut and dried to be stored for use as animal fodder, either for large grazing animals raised as livestock, such as cattle, horses, goats, and sheep, or for smaller domesticated animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs. Pigs can eat hay, but do not digest it as efficiently as herbivores do.
Hay can be used as animal fodder when or where there is not enough pasture or rangeland on which to graze an animal, when grazing is not feasible due to weather (such as during the winter), or when lush pasture by itself would be too rich for the health of the animal. It is also fed when an animal is unable to access pasture-for example, when the animal is being kept in a stable or barn.

It really is amazing how it works. I remember having to sit on one when I was younger to make sure bales went the right way!! Amazed me how it all worked 🤯

[@walthamwayfarers]

I used to stand on the back of the sledge and ride around watching to make sure it all worked properly.. The one in the video once set up worked like a dream, had very little trouble with it.
