 Topic: Roto baler mounted bale loader
Posted: 10 Jul 2024 at 6:12am |
|
Has anyone ever seen a loader that mounts on the rear of the baler to load bales onto the wagon? Pt told me about it yesterday. He thinks it was made by a company in Illinois. New patient and i had a project roto baler parked in front of the office. He wanted to know if i had a treatment room where he couldn't see the baler. I guess going to the dentist was stressful enough and the baler was giving him nasty flashbacks from 60 years ago

I can’t imagine how miserable it be on the wagon, stopping for every bale to tie, then start moving again.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Did AC not make a bale pickup elevator that mounted to the tractor and dropped into a trailing wagon? At least that image popped into my mind at the title of this thread.

yeah, I got one of those but the driver of that(my daughter) has accepted her first teaching job and it is out of state. So it looks like it is going to be me and the dog for the duration. And he can't reach the pedals

I have a never used contraption still wired up that is supposed to be just that according to the dealer I bought a parts inventory from back about 1980. Patterson Equipment at Fairfield VA equipment place and Mr Patterson are long gone.

AC made an elevator that mounted to the side of a narrow front ad dropped the bale onto the wagon behind. It wasn't part of or related to the baler. It was a separate implement.

Yes: Allis Chalmers DID make an attachment for the rear of the #10 Roto-Baler. As the #10 Roto-Baler was designed as a continuous motion machine, not the stop to tie/eject as regular Roto-Balers, you wouldn't have the start-stop loading bales on a wagon. However if this was mounted on a regular baler and the windrows were made of a size that would choke most any other baler, you would be going as slow as possible and about the time you moved you'd be stopping again, instead of racing around a field as seems to be the common practice anymore. At least when creeping around a groundhog hole would not take out a wagon spindle as I've often seen on kick-bale wagons. From the Roto-Baler parts book

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

Doc, you made me laugh with the "me and the dog". Dad loved the rotobaler but never saw the point in having a wagon around for what little we did. We'd stack them in the back of the 8 ft box pickup and haul them to the barn. Seems like I could get 30 bales on if I did it right and avoided the bumps. A big year for us would be 500 bales though.

Steve, i make a couple thousand tops, but if i have to bale, then load them, that might be too much for this old man. I am happy for alley but where does tbe time go. Hard to believe it was nearly 25 years ago when the wife said " i wonder why i keep feeling so nauseous "
Good news is bulldog farts less than late wife
