I love their equipment - an in-line baler  :love:  a bale scoopy-uppy thing :love:  (that is so clever) then the biggest grab thingy I've seen  :thumbsup: . I would love to be let loose with that lot  8) 8)  It certainly beats humphing it all by hand as we do - mind you we don't have quite so many bales  :-J :farmer:

They make 50000 bales each year from 2500 tons of grass.
