Splitting Bales with AC...

For those of you who are or may be interested in the nitty gritty, as promised, I'm now giving you a blow by blow description of how to split a straw bale... cos it stands to reason that the perfectly sized 950x450x400mm bale just won't fit into every space.  derr
 
1. Gather all necessary tools...
Note the bale is held together
by pink baling twine.

2. measure where the bale needs
to be split and insert the
double-pronged baling needle.


4. remove the needle while
pulling the twine through.

3. thread 2m lengths of
blue baling twine through
the eyes of the needle.


  











5. find threads from opposite
sides of bale and tie firmly.

  
6. cut the pink baling twine...
 


8. repeat process as required

7. and shazam...
the bale splits in two.

9. and put into position.
  
PS: goodness me,
can this be,
straw balers disease!?
