Bought a rotobaler yesterday and we don't have any knowledge or experience with these, but kinda wanted one. Is there anyone in central Ks with books to sell and knowledge to share? Thanks, Jake

check out the brake on right rear corner used to tention bale. rusts onto brake drum and first bale will bust the band. Definatly need live pto as you have to stop for each bale to tie. Never leave tractor with pto running. They like arms and fingers. Very tempermental. But good balers Stacked 3-5 thousand in the barn every year in the 70's

I,ll share my 2 cents worth on round balers. Don't run if you don't have patience. You burn it for you ever figure it out. Dad burn't the clutch out of a 60 JD every year on ours. Wd and 45 were definetely the best tractor every to run. There were bunches of these in North Missouri very popular up till big balers came out. We baled pasture rahter than brush cut and left it lay in the field. Old cow picked a lot out of them. Usually stetched our hay about 30 days doing this.

I have a whitetop rotobaler it is an earlier one not fast wrap. The main thing is to get the windrows about the same width as the pickup chain.A swather set about that wide works good. Also make sure hay is dry. A tractor with live pto helps.

I grew up using one of these in the 50's. One very important thing is to get your windrows even. You have to rake two of them together and if they are not of equal size you will end up with a strange looking bale. Also, there are various adjustments on the bale tension which determines the density of the bale. They are very good machines and once in proper adjustment very easy to use. Get a good operators manual. Also make sure you have good belts. Have fun.

One thing I learned when I got mine, was that you must make sure the blade for cutting the twine is nice and sharp. If not, you can use up one heck of a lot of twine on one bale!

Like I said over on the tales board, good work. I did a search for "Roto" on the allis board and got 74 hits. Tried to post link to the search, but it didn't work.
