How the big bale gets into the "raufomatized" hay rack...
Since we often get asked, here's a little video showing how we get big bales into our 'Raufomat-equipped' hay racks. If you don't have a loader, the best way is to tie the hay cover up and then use a ramp to roll the hay bale into the hay rack.
Note:
The incredible amount of dust showed that both hay bales really weren't good enough for feeding. So, we had to get rid of both hay bales right away, even before we finished filming. Talk about bad luck – we ended up with the absolute worst bales on our 'filming day'! In the final shot, you can already spot one of the bales we swapped out. Sadly, the full extent of the mold only truly became visible once we'd cut open the wrapping. Just a classic 'demonstration effect,' I guess...
The two hay racks shown here are already a few years old. One of them was really clumsily put together by someone, and the other was made by a carpenter. Both hay racks are NOT like the Raufomat wooden hay rack we've developed since then, which we're happy to give our customers free building instructions and material lists for, once they've placed a firm order for a Raufomat.
