Soaring Tomahawk

[Mike Brubacher]

It's difficult to find an old barn around here that still doesn't possess, at least, the remains of the trolley track system. I never witnessed it in use though because by the time I was old enough, the hay baler was already well established. I have, in fact, bucked a few bales in my early years. Now, most hay bales around here are put up as  1000 lb. round bales and usually, hay field to storage place, the bales are untouched by human hands. 

Back in my day - no town kid wanted to hassle a farm kid - handling a 1,000 - 100 lb. bales a day lends advantages when it comes to recreational pugilistic sports.
