In Today's "What Is This Piece Of Farm Equipment?"
I accompanied my uncle to an auction this morning...while looking over the items up for auction, we ran across this interesting item...neither of us had a clue to what was...

I'm guessing it's a hay bailer.

Yep...a hay baler...almost everyone asked said it was a cotton baler...the guy running the auction got into a friendly argument with an old man over it's being a hay bailer (old man) or a cotton baler (auctioneer). Hay baler won out. I'll admit...I cannot remember seeing one before...but I'm not a farmer type
