My Daughter Learns to Use the Tractor to Unload Round Bales

Tractor Mike walks his daughter through unloading 20 round bales for the first time, making this a genuine beginner's tutorial built around a real, unscripted task. He covers spike placement height, loader leveling through the arc of travel, RPM management for hydraulics and steering, 2WD vs. 4WD tradeoffs, and, most usefully, exactly what to do if the rear wheels lift. Best for first-timers learning bale-spear work on a compact tractor.

Tractor Mike is a longtime tractor-industry insider with decades of hands-on experience in the equipment business. He built his channel to help first-time and rural buyers make confident decisions, and his guidance comes from that deep, long-term background rather than a sales pitch.
