This is our hay baling rig: tractor followed by steamer and lastly the actual hay baler. It makes big bales of hay that are 8'x4'x 3' in size and weigh about 650kgs each.
Yes steam. The machine between the tractor and baler is a steam boiler that adds moisture to the windrow of hay prior to baling. It has revolutionised how and when hay can be made and has taken a lot of the frustration away waiting for that perfect dew to bale.
Just a bit. Toot, toot.
ReplyDeleteThe first machine I know, but remember I don't know anything.
