Well know, does not get much more manuel than that one...and cool beans once again  ;D

How do you put a string on it, just take it out of the box, and tie it up?

Probably easier for ya and me to do a search on hand hay balers, there are slits in the front door that ya run the strings through before putting the hay in the box.  :)
