No.
No.
No.

It's either blueberries or tomatoes. Don't try to trick me with fake blueberries. Someone will get hurt. That's unethical.

Next you'll be trying "Fakin Bacon" and tofurkey. Get psychological help now, before it's too late.

A year ago I snagged a parts baler because as everyone knows one can not have just one Rotobaler....



To get it home I had to swipe a tire off my good one, I had stuck a log under it to keep it off the ground.

Finally got back to it this year and with all of our rain.... she is laying frame. They are very heavy on the left side and it had pushed the log down into the mud.

I tried to jack it up there but all the weight is on the side I want to pick up. The drive belts, linkage, gears and loading chute are all on the left side. I was actually picking up the RH tire (which only has the hitch and PTO) Eventually the jack kicked over on me.



So I had to get my spade and dig under the frame. And then I had to dig a trench so the jack handle had enough travel.



Hallelujah!



It wasn't super hot but very humid and very calm. Mosquitos were almost welcome because at least they generated a slight breeze as they buzz around. Very miserable. Hoping to get it on the tractor and dragged up into the open where there may be more airflow.

For those just tuning in last time I tried to run this thing all the old lower belts came apart. They got stuck in the chamber of the baler which made the baler thing it had a bale so it actually did its little dance where it shuts off the feed chain, dropped the twine arm and slowly pulled it back up (I didn't have twine in it) and then ejected the wad of belts out the back.

I have since accumulated a few new belts. And I think thanks to the parts baler I have enough belting to patch together a complete lower set. Last night I harvested three lower belts off the parts unit and one upper, I also snagged a used upper belt from my uncle which I think will get me enough to try again.
