Miniature scale straw bales and baler

AllisG · Aug 4, 2018

Is anyone familer with the miniature scale straw and hay balers that often appear at the power shows? I’m looking at crafting some mini bales that are sold for decoration and building a small hand tie baler will be the newest project. I’d be interested to hear if anyone’s used or build one as to some specs like chamber sizes they’ve got

There is a guy that has plans for a 1/3
scale case hay press. I just got done
building one. Not the hardest thing in the
world, but takes a bunch of time. Mine
still has some operational issues, but I
have squeezed out a half dozen bales. I had
mine belted up through a gear reduction
which was run off a steam engine.

When running correctly, they are a hoot to
play with. But don't worry, Walmart sells
the little bales at Halloween time for a
couple of bucks.

How do I get the plans ? Do you have a picture?
