Beenthere.
I am just spreading the manure on pasture. Some of it will get cut for hay this year. Where I lost the last pin was going over some small rocks (not in the hay area) when the hitch came out and my mishap happened. As I was driving home today I was thinking how when I return to the manure pile I have to drive over a small pile of manure that spills out the back when I’m loading. This could have the same affect of grabbing the keeper. I think your right about tying the keepers on. It will be another year before I go through this exercise again so I’m afraid I won’t have results right away but as expensive as these mistakes are I may take these extra precautions every time I hook up.
This picture is of where my manure pile was. I still have some but most this area was covered in 6’ of manure. That was alot of loads with my small spreader.
The cows in the pasture are calving. We have had three so far, including one this morning. All bulls. We are expecting six more in the next few weeks.
