I found this website today, it has a lot of interesting info on AC stuff. His info on the roto baler I disagree with. I found them far far easier to use than a square baler.

Roto Baler was a much more simple machine than any square baler that I was around. The secret of the round baler was a good large double windrow. And that's where I learned to rake hay the proper way. I remember watching that little baler in straw. Large fluffy windrows that looked like they would bury the darn thing and it would just roll them up. Less trouble than a square baler. Still sitting in our shed today.

One of the most fun things I do (clean fun that is. And I did say fun; not productive) is roto baling. If I had someone to haul them, I would make 10,000 of em a year! Darrel

I learned to drive picking up round bales, I was 10 or 11 years old on a CA.
