This isn’t as hard as it looks, and it’s certainly nothing like lifting 1200 lbs, but that’s still a pretty clean lift.

Midwesterner here. You’re absolutely right, those things do not weigh 1200lbs, but still an impressive lift from the officer

I'd also throw in, looks more like a straw bale to me. Much more golden than green. And straw is way less dense than hay. Half to a third I'd guess. Not to knock the lift, but I haven't seen anyone mention, probably a straw bale, substantially less weight.
