A farmer turned himself into a Spongebob Squarepants lookalike after a prank video shows him diving into a baler.

A video posted online shows a tractor pulling a square baler. While the tractor is still moving, a shirtless man jumps out.

He then removes his pants and climbs to the top of the baler completely nude. After a moment of hesitation, he appears to dive into the top of it.



 

Moments later, his feet emerge from the baler and he slowly completes his exit.

The man is totally wrapped in hay, with his arms, legs and head sticking out.

The camera person runs toward the man, laughing as the farmer is running throughout the field and shedding hay with each step.

Many comments on the video’s post say it’s fake, adding the man would’ve most likely been crushed and killed if he jumped into the baler.

As humorous as the video may be, Farms.com does not condone that activity and reminds all farmers to use their machinery properly and safely.
