I've just had this issue with my newest bale!
First I had to get it out the car... It's about 15kg, so not really heavy, but quite heavy! Then it was slightly larger in shape than usual so instead of slotting perfectly into my boot it had been forced in a bit, so needed forcing out again! Then carried it in, then fought with blunt scissors and the string tying the bale up, thinking it would make it easier to get some hay off the top, it wasn't....
Tomorrow I need to get it from the hall to the out house in the back garden... Then Hoover up the massive mess I made
On the plus side this new bale is amazingly stalky and tough just like my two love it, although that is probably a contributory factor in it being so tough to take some from the bale!
