Can you imagine how many times you would have to run through and tweak it to get it to run flawless.

Can you imagine how much time people have to do such tweaks and test runs being locked up in quarantine for so long...

There's time on your hands then there's too much time on your hands.

For all the farmers in quarantine, with nothing better to do during this slow time of year(before anyone chews me out, this is called sarcasm...), you can make the same Rube Goldberg contraption, only life size right on the farm, post the video on You Tube and make money.

Some ideas,:

A row of Meridians would make excellent dominoes, especially if they are your neighbors bins and not welded down.

With a little counter weight, an auger will over balance very easily, could set up an entire line of augers where one knocks the next one over etc.

Round bales and hills, nothing more needs to be said.

If you are somewhat space ( or hill) constrained, we happen to have a functioning Allis Chalmers roll belt baler to make the little round bales.

Set up a system of buckets on ropes with pulleys under hopper bins, open the first gate, have the weight of the grain pull the bucket to open the next bin gate and on down the line. As a bonus, you can come back and reuse the bins later on after they are empty for the domino trick, and one again, best if these are your neighbors bins.

Must be a way to incorporate Brian T( WD9's) autonomous tractor into this.

Imagine the tricks you could do with a grain vac.

Interesting ideas, but hard on the insurance premiums.

Did you have the pleasure of forking those little round bales, they created instant upper body strength if you could survive the first week.

After you mastered the little bales, you could move on to the 1400 pounders, it wasn't that I couldn't lift them, it was because it cost me a fortune in fork handles . . . . . . .

Talk about demand destruction,

There are 2 factors that determine the spread of covid-19:

1. How dense the population is

2. How dense the population is

No, I started out pitching the big rounds when I was just a wee tike. Builds character at an early age.

The last year the Roll-Belt was used in any industrial quantity was 1 year before I was born. And they used a farmhand sweep to pile them up. So I missed all the fun, just used it a few times for "fun" since then.

We do have a pitchfork with 2 short tines, which I am told was used for throwing bales. I couldn't fathom that when I hardly bigger than the bales.
