 Topic: Roto-baler operating

Does the roto baler have to stop every time to unload a bale?
Been awhile since I've seen one run .

Yes. That's why the hand clutch was so important back in the day. Had to keep the PTO running when the operator stopped to unload the bale. I remember an arm at the top front swinging from one point to another that signaled the operator to stop and unload the bale. Never was around one of the Roto Balers with its own motor.

The conveyor should stop then the twine arm about same time should drop and tie bale.

Dad purchased a new Allis roto baler on June 29/50 and operated the baler with a WF. when the arm dropped push foot clutch in , put tractor in neutral tie bale , then put tractor in second gear go until arm drops again - was still better than forking loose hay onto the wagon by hand.

If I'm not mistaken, was there a model Rotor-Baler that had a feature that allowed non stop operation? Kinda like a extra tray that would continue to gather the hay while it was tripping and ejecting the bale?

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

I remember when I was a kid we had a neighbor with a 2 cly. John Deere, he talked about pulling the clutch back , putting it in neutral, clutch forward, bale out, clutch back and back into gear and the repeat the process.

I don't know that much about theses balers ,but I remember seeing the bales left in the Fields here..
Question is why did they need string knotters ? The twine would rot wouldn't it ,or mice would eat it ..

They didn't have string knotters, just wrapped string multiple times around both ends. MACK

In our picking up bales... we were the knotter...had to take the loose end ( the baler 'knotted' the first end) and slip it under the twine at least once and yank it to knot the final end of twine... took a couple of seconds but saved many a bale from "unwinding" when being handled.

They will only unwind one way think its the side that the twine starts on first to your left put it on your right and they won't unwind no need to tie.Think I got the sides right been a long time but I've handled thousands of them.

They actually had a tool to push the end of the last wrap of twine down into the bale. Looks like bale hook on one end and a needle on the other end. Even had a special storage spot on the baler. I don't have the baler any more but do have the tool. Leon B Mo
