We finally got our rotobaler in the field today. Hay was a bit tuff but we made 25 ok bales. We don't think this baler has made very many bales as we bought from the original farm.

Looks great!

We had a WD and Rotobaler when I was growing up on the farm. Never saw the round baler run. Only the WD mounted rear sickle mower. Rotobaler was always full of wasp nests, so I never messed with it.

I believe the family bought the rotobaler before my father took over the farm (dairy) operation.

Expansive urbanization in the area made the milk haulers stop picking up the milk. Not enough farms, too far from the freeway. So when my father pivoted into selling hay to horse owners and straw to home builders, the causes for no other dairy farmers were in the area. He needed square bales to sell to them and the rotobaler rusted away. We had a MF baler and later a JD, which I learned all the swear words poured over the knotters. And how to beat them with a crescent wrench. Granted, the knotters always acted up when hay was cut and rain was moving in. I'm beyond his age then and completely understand.

I found a WD that was built within two weeks of the one we had on the farm.

You have a great kit there.
Keep going.
