Handy Bale Cart BALE HANDLING Bale Handling (31B) 34-4-27 "I got this idea several years ago when I started to have back and knee problems. I was feeding small square bales to my goats and it was getting increasingly harder to carry the bales around," says Galen Mommens, Tecumseh, Neb., who made a 2-wheel bale cart.
"Since I only needed to move one bale at a time, I didn't need anything that big. I looked through my scrap pile and came up with a lightweight, durable and inexpensive design. I used plumbing parts for the frame, which can be connected without welding. Then I attached a couple bicycle wheels.
"It's been a big back saver. It's designed so the weight is balanced over the wheels. It rolls almost effortlessly. I also use it to haul loads of branches and I can fit it with a large plastic tote to carry leaves, grass clippings and other cargo."
Mommens has a website with an entertaining blog and do-it-yourself info about the hand cart and other projects.
