Sure, you can "run" a square baler; anyone with a little technical/left-brained knowledge can do it. Is the boyfriend's Dad a "real" farmer or someone playing around with a few acres? Things have changed in the last 30 or 40 years, not necessarily for the best. Farmers have become VERY conscious of the liability they can incur when allowing people onto their property and/or dealing with farm equipment. Boyfriend sounds like a piece of work/classic chauvinist. Bet you can do better. Doubt that either he or his Dad could have worked for me; the radio disqualifies them; anyone with any serious time on a piece of harvesting equipment (at least before the advent of electronics/shaft monitors, etc) depends on the sound, vibration, and a seat-of-the-pants "sense" of what's happening in additon to the visual clues. When he (boyfriend) picks you up on Saturday night, does he come inside and talk to your folks while you finish getting ready or does he sit in the driveway and blow the horn? Maybe I'm the chauvinist......sometimes I think I've outlived my "time". Read this yesterday.........if someone from another planet came and was asked to listen to our music; rap (I know, the term rap music is an oxymoron), hard rock, rock and roll, do-wop, jazz, blues, swing, and the music of Porter, Gershwin, etc and then asked to put it into chronological order, they would surely get it EXACTLY BACKWARDS.
