engineered equipment

When picking up the 1400 lb bales in the hay yard occasionally the bale netting tears and the hay falls out.  This leaves hay loose on the ground that is considerable work to pitch onto the truck by hand.  Since we didn't have a sweep attachment for the tractor Blake found old bend sweep teeth in the salvage iron pile on the ranch and engineered a sweep head attachment that fits onto the tractor's bucket.  This took 4 hours of work, but saved considerable money.
