    Solving a big Mexico problem

    Would a hay baler work on seaweed? I’m sitting on the beach in Mexico, watching the same three guys every day, rake seaweed into piles and then load the piles into a JD Gator and haul it off. I mean the seaweed is basically already windrowed by the surf. Im thinking a small round baler would make short work of this. Just one trip down the beach every couple of hours and haul the seaweed off in bales. Of course two of these three dudes would be out of a job and on their way to Houston. Thoughts of an old construction hand on vacation.[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

    Saltwater is going to destroy the bailer in short order. But I like where your head is at.

      I love me some seaweed salad. I think you are on to something there.

          Those three could rake seaweed for about 174 years at their pay, before you could pay for a bailer and a tractor.

            Are they wearing masks? ...outside, on the beach? That may be the reason they have decided that is the easiest way to solve the seaweed problem.

              As long as you blow the baler out and then pressure wash the salt off throughly it’ll be fine. The sand will wear things down faster than anything else during use. Instead of a modern baler an old Allis Chalmers round baler might work. Less money for one thing. Maybe use a lubricant on the chains that dries and won’t pick up dust and salt.

                They do actually make them already.

                      You’ve been turned.[emoji23]. Those aren’t masks, they’re sunscreens. Some people actually wear them while working in the sun all day. You’ve been a desk jockey too long, Josh![emoji23]Nobody in this place has had a mask on since we got here, workers included.

                            People that fish and boat where them to keep the sun and wind off their faces. They are called buffs.
