For what do you use 900 lb bales of hay?  Is that common in cold country to 
have such large bales ? ...bobf

Most of my farm work is done by hand. I probably don't use more than 20 
gallons of gas a year in my tractor, but I have no other way to move 900 
pound bales of hay. Having the tractor available to do the really heavy 
work or move hay or pull my truck (or my sheep) out of the mud is a good 
deal for me.
