MINI ROUND BALER
Round balers are one of the most common pieces of equipment on hay farms. They produce high-quality round bales of harvested crops and have the functionality to wrap them just after pressing the hay together. They are efficient and effective, but that doesn’t mean that they are simple to operate. While it may seem like making hay is as simple as it gets on the farm or homestead, baling hay has aspects of art and science to master.
HOOKING UP THE BALER TO THE TRACTOR
First, you must hook up your round baler to your tractor. Put the tractor in neutral and hook up the hitch, PTO, and hydraulics to secure your baler to your tractor.
LOADING BINDING MATERIAL(S)
If you haven’t already loaded your bounding material into the baler, now is the time to do so. Some models feature twine, netting, plastic wrapping, or a mixture of these. Ensure that you load the binding material in correctly so the machine can work properly and binding the round bales happens without incident.
LAST-MINUTE CHECKS
Do a final walkthrough to check that all belts, wires, and grease fittings are in proper order. Doing these each time you want to use your round baler will make upkeep that much easier and ensure that each time you go make round bales the machine is ready to function efficiently.
STARTING A BALE
Drop the pick-up wheels to the desired distance from the ground. The wetter the crop, the lower the wheels should be to the ground typically.
Activate your PTO at the lowest throttle until you approach the first swath of crop you intend to bale. Once you stop directly above the start of the row, slowly ramp up the PTO throttle. The higher you go, the quicker the belts will spin which will allow faster harvesting of the crop.
