That is a magnificently noble thought, Jinglebob, but try as you might, you don't have as much fur on your face as your equine buddies. Wink Smile


Your right, but they can't tie a silk scarf over their nose, either. Wink

If I had been going farther, I probably would have.

Usually, a mile was the farthest I had to go. Most days, a little less and then their was a timbered creek to feed beside, so the cows and I were out of the wind.

Actually my rig a bit easier than winching-that cabling deal was for loading loose hay put up with an overshot stacker.

See that bale feeder of Dewys is really small and light. There is no place for a person to ride on it. Its a lot like those little bale feeders that they sell to haul behind a vehicle or quad.
It just has two arms that are winch operated to pick up and hold one round bale. Its on two skies instead of wheels. The whole thing without the bale weighs nothing really. You walk along side of your horses to operate it.
Actually those small bale feeders that they sell to haul behind a quad or truck might be an easy, cheap conversion?
I guess it all depends on your terrain and distance that your hauling.
This winter has been mild but on a normal March or April around here having something you dont have to plug in is an advantage.
