Any one seen a baler like this before? Three wheel Cockshutt baler that uses binder twine for string.

I missed something somewhere. Where was it stated that Cockshutt built this baler. If I remember right they used some Ronoke balers. The oldest one I seen was built by Ohio Cultivator and that one was built before their was any connection between Cockshutt & Ohio cultivator

Like alot of other companys , then and now, Cockshutt could well have just "badged" it and sold it as their own. Still haven't seen another like it though. While the bale it makes is rectangular, unlike the square bales we are all familular with the strings going the lenght of the bale. The strings on this bale go around the width of the bale.So in other words, the sections of the bale are not sqouare , but long and thin. Bruce

Made in France.The French baler, as it was called, was on display at the International Cockshutt Show in Essex Ontario in 1997. It produced a loose rectangular bale which was ideal for countries where hay drying was a problem, but apparently did not go over well in Canada. I believe it was on display at other shows in Ontario and was owned by an Ontario collector at the time.

I know this is an old post but my father and his brother owned one of these balers , used it for many years. They bought it from local Cockshutt dealer, it was imported from France and was painted Silver. The dealership painted it Cockshutt red and yellow. We toed a drag sleigh behind the baler and stacked 12 or 16 bales on it than knocked them off close to where you knocked off bales on previous rounds, than at the end of the day we would go around the field and stuked the bales to be picked up another day. We used pitch forks to load the bales onto the trailer and to stack them. This baler was just one step above loose hay. My Grandfather called the baler The man killer, because it was such hard work handling these bales. We live on PEI.

So it packs the hay into the side of the bale instead of into the end of the bale. I've never seen anything like that.

Well the way it works is quite simple, the hay flows strait into the bailer and the large plunger compacts the hay with each stroke, There is no knife to cut the hay like in a square baler. When the right length is reached the knotter is triggered and a bale is formed. The only problem is when your balling long hay like Timothy the bales will stick together and have to be pulled apart, sometimes three or four bales at a time. Thus the name man killer baler
when this happens.
