Bale of Hay Rolls onto SC Man Killing Him

[kevin37b]

Sad indeed, I carry my bales with forks, but mine has a cage 4ft high, and I straddle the bale so if it does roll off its to the side not down on me. I usually don't lift it more than a few feet anyway just enough to move around.

Ecellent strategy , I know 2 guys around here that are in bad shape due to bale handling issues .

Yep, that was it!!!! For some reason that one video clip stuck in my mind, even though that was before I ever got "into" tractors.

Yeah, that is scary stuff. I was trying to lift a large timber up into a roll-off container with the little BX, and it rolled back. Thankfully the only damage was a creased hood.
