RanchWell · Before the job

Moving round bales

  1. ☐ An adult has chosen a supervised waiting place away from the loader, trailer, and bale stack.
  2. ☐ The trained adult has checked the machine, bale attachment, and load limits in the manuals.
  3. ☐ The adult has checked the ground and overhead wires. People stay outside the loading area.
Stop and check

Stop if the ground or load makes the machine unstable. Never catch or steady a large bale.

Tell your family: a bale stack is never a place to climb or play.

These are reminders, not a full job plan. Checked boxes do not prove a job is safe.
