Throwing hay bales gets you jacked.

Those round one are over 100 kg. What?

A typical hay bale is rectangular and weighs about as much as a bushel of lemons. You pick it up by the twine and heave-ho until it's in a big ridiculous pile on the truck.

You pick it up by the twine and apply the ol’ hectoNewton metre.

There's different sized bales. The big round bales you move with a tractor and aren't getting tossed around, but the smaller rectangular bales get moved by hand a bunch.
