In 1964, dad bought an stationary baler. We still had to gather the hay the same way, haul it to the baler, then pitch it in the baler. At least we had baled hay to stack in the barn and to feed with. And THAT seemed oh, so modern at the time.
There you go dating yourself again Junk. This would make ya OLDER THAN DIRT!!!
