 Topic: Bale loader in action
Posted: 07 Jun 2010 at 12:20pm |
Here is a video my dad took yesterday of us messing around with an Allis Chalmers bale loader mounted on a WD-45. It was too wet to be in the field yesterday so we used it in the barn yard. Hope you guys enjoy it. I will get a better video of it in the field when the weather permits and the hay is fit. Joe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tA86Zs31iw

The only thing I can see wrong is you could have used a twenty two oz. beer can. Otherwise looks good. Fred

There was a guy around here years ago that tied a rope on one side of his roto baler so it would turn the bales sideways. I thought that was neat.

We used a bale loader on many 1000's of bales as a teenager on dad's farm. If the hay was raked right so that the bale ends were firm the loader worked great.

Question: Do you Guys know why the Department of Agriculture almost stopped production of the roto baler? Answer: The cows no longer would have a square meal. Dave.

It will work on square bales if the bales are lined up longways going into the loader.

How many roto bales do yall bale? Or is it just for a novelty. Dad always said the cows preferred to eat the rotobales over a square bale. Do you find that to be true to?

My Dad said when he was young, he had to go behind the rotobaler and loop the string around the bale so it would not come unravaled.

Straw bales with the roto baler are just great to bed with. Take the twine off and just kick and it unrolls.

there was a "T" shaped tool with a notched shank that was used to poke the twine into the bale to keep it from unraveling.
I remember using this when Dad had the Allis Round Baler.

We found that Dad's beef cattle would eat the round bales a lot better even the last cutting that was sometimes left out in the field and fed in the winter. Round balers don't chop the leaves off and leave the stems sticking out like the square bales. If John Deere would have came out with the round baler almost everyone would of had one.
