The pictures were taken around the Medicine Hat, Alberta area after a windstorm. The bales weigh up to approximately 1600lbs and some were reported to have rolled up to 5 miles.
My guess is a lot more than we will ever see on earth. Don't believe this story for a minute. Seen that effect quite often though when baling on steep ground. We worked land in Scotland that we unloaded all the bales that way - pick them up on the flat at the bottom. Good story and pictures though. :wink:Justin said:so how many mph does it take to roll a 1600# round bale 5 miles :???: :? :shock:

OK, I'll challenge anyone (1 person) to move a 1600lb bale by hand on reasonably flat ground. :lol: :lol: :lol:little bow rancher said:last summer the wind got so strong it wrecked over 50 pivots in and around Bow Island ,there wasn't a twister to be found , I think it's quite possible that the wind could do that , it isn't that hard to move a round bale buy hand.

I can't move a grain bin or tear a roof off with my bare hands but the wind can. :???:
