    Or he could pour those partially filled pails together and have only 4 pails to carry just grip 2 bails in each hand and go
    I often carry4 5gal pails or 20 gallons of hyd oil like that
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Each pail is probably a measured amount for each calf.

    Agree. Hydraulic oil about 7.5 lbs/gal x 20 = more than I can carry!

    About 80 lbs in each hand is my limit now. My knees and grip are not what they used to be, I doubt if I could pass a fireman's carry anymore, I might make the 200 lbs over the shoulder carry halfway up the first flight of stairs being in my 70's suck

    Hell, I'm 73 and have resorted to getting the feed mill to break down my 100 lb. bags of feed to two fifty pound bags. Up until a few years ago, I could lift the bags off the tail gate up over one shoulder and walk away with it into the barn about 50 ft. Then went to grabbing the neck of the bag in one hand and the other end in the other hand and sort of walking, more like waddling to the feed barrels. And now, well I can still sling a 50 pound bag of chicken feed over my shoulder, well until I fractured my ankle a few weeks ago.
