Big baler

Was back in my old home area last week - in the western central area of England. Its a mainly combine-able grain growing region.

This farmer makes & sells big square straw bales to livestock farming areas




MF branded Hesston. He owns this one and rents in another one for the season







This is the self loading bale wagon which they use to collect & haul back to their yard. It will stack the bales in vertical stacks for storage
 
I've got one customer that has two of the big, 4x4x8 square balers that they use to bale wheat straw. Doing it in the big bales lets them transport more product, faster, and with less manual labor involved. Too it gets the straw in the barn faster, so it helps out when the weather doesn't cooperate. Once in the barn they use the bale buster that I built for them to bust up the big bales, and rebale them into the small bales they sell to the Big box stores like Lowes, HD, etc.
 
Had not seen the self loader for large square bales yet thanks again for your posts they are very interesting.
 
That baler was made just down the road from our place in Hesston, Kansas. Hesston invented the
large square baler in the late '70's and they continue to be very popular. The original size was
4x4 foot and that model is mostly seen in western USA in the dryer climates. The 3x3 foot size is
more common in central and eastern USA with the 3x4 size found nearly anywhere commercial hay is
grown. The 3x4 is the favorite of truckers since it allows an extra foot of height on the load
which allows for the maximum payload. The "3x3" bale is only 32 inches wide to allow three wide on
an 8-ft truck bed but the center row is a hassle to deal with compared to two rows of 4-ft bales.

I enjoy all your pictures from the eastern side of the big puddle.
