leaves?

A few years ago, my dad was wondering if he could purchase an old hay bailer, and use it to bail leaves during the fall raking. The idea would be to keep the bailer stationary, and "feed" it with a blower. Well, Pop"s gone now, but the idea came back today as I was anticipating the upcoming leaf season. So - will it work?

The difficulties as I see it:

Dry product - if it rains, they would be a bear to dry out????

Feeding - you seem to have that covered, a hay pickup doesn't like small loose leaves.

Keeping the bale formed - without longer stems of grass, the bales will want to fall apart with much of any handling. You would really need to pack them tight, and see what happens. Cornstalk bales are hard enough to keep together, this would be harder.

I remember the messages from a year or so ago too, they were very interesting & would help with ideas.

I have a friend in Ohio who bales leaves every fall, I think he uses an I-H #46 baler and he drives it along the ground and and has a helper with a leaf rake ensuring the feed....Mike in Exeter Ontario

Do a search on this site. There was a detailed post on this in the past year. Seems some municipality actually was doing this. Interesting post.

Thanks for the replies. I've done a search of the site using "bailing leaves", and "leaf bailer" and several other thihngs like this. Can't get the right hits. Anyone remember more about the thread so I might be able to zero in on it? Thanks

Try modifying your spelling...

You would need to "bale" the leaves, rather than "bail" them.

(bailing is the act of removing water from a vessel, i.e. bailing out your jonboat, where as baling is the act of compressing materials into a bale. Basically. I ain't Daniel Webster, but...)
