Customer reviews
Andrei Ivanov · Professional Straw Recycling Contractor
This round baler is our primary workhorse,processing over ten thousand acres of straw in a single season.Its durability is impressive,with exceptionally reliable knotter performance and minimal twine breakage or downtime.The bales are firm outside yet fluffy inside,ensuring safe transport and ideal conditions for later ensiling,receiving positive feedback from our clients.
Hans Berger · Professional Silage Producer
The baling and wrapping combination machine is revolutionary.Its seamless integration of baling and wrapping increased our single-shift productivity by approximately 40%.The wrapping quality is consistently tight,ensuring optimal silage fermentation and significantly saving labor and time.
Erin Walters · Operations Director,Agricultural Services Company
The self-propelled baler proved its value across 5000 contiguous acres.The hydrostatic drive system reduces headland turning time by 40%,and the intelligent monitoring system displays real-time forage moisture and bale weight data.Most notably,its modular design allows core component replacement in just 2 labor hours,reducing annual maintenance costs by approximately$18,000.
Product Description
Features
Focus is on structural robustness and tying reliability.The knotters are typically precision-tuned to minimize missed ties or twine breaks.Some models may include a"gentle feed"system intended to reduce leaf loss,which can be helpful for producing high-quality alfalfa hay.The drive train emphasizes durability and serviceability,with many key components designed for easy access and replacement.The operator interface is relatively intuitive,and troubleshooting tends to be straightforward.

Specifications
Common pickup widths are 1.9m or 2.1m.Bale length can be adjusted via mechanical or hydraulic systems,offering multiple set lengths or infinite variability.Two knotters(double twine)are typically used to secure the bales.The bale chamber size and plunger stroke are optimized to balance output and bale firmness.The machine requires a tractor with a 540 rpm PTO.The overall design aims to control cost and complexity while delivering reliable performance.

Applications
A classic choice for small to mid-sized family farms,ranches,and horse stables.The output bales are ideal for manual stacking,loading,and feeding without reliance on heavy machinery.This bale size is very common in the retail hay market,convenient for customers to buy and transport.It is also used in settings requiring precise feeding management,such as racehorse stables or the pet forage market.Suitable for grasses,legumes,and some crop residues like oat straw.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q:Can a small square pick-up baler handle lodged crops?
A:It can handle them,but efficiency may decrease.For moderately lodged crops,reducing ground speed and adjusting the pick-up height is recommended.For severely lodged or tangled crops,pre-windrowing or using a model with a helper reel may be necessary to ensure clean pickup.
Q:How does a small square baler handle fragile forage like alfalfa?
A:Operating in the early morning or when dew is present is recommended,as leaves are more pliable,reducing shatter loss.Loosening bale density slightly and reducing ground speed helps preserve leaf integrity.Models with a lateral feeding system can also better protect the forage.
Q:What adjustments are recommended for operating the machine on slopes?
A:Operate along the contour lines,avoiding straight up/downhill travel.Moderately reduce hydraulic system pressure according to the slope to ensure knotter reliability.Regularly check and secure all connections to prevent loosening from vibration.
Q:What usually causes inconsistent bale length?
A:Common causes are uneven feed volume or inconsistent windrow thickness.Check and adjust the pickup height for consistent gathering.Also inspect the metering wheel mechanism for wear or binding,and ensure drive chains are properly tensioned.
Q:How to choose economical and durable twine for a small square baler?
A:Opt for polypropylene twine with a 2-3mm diameter,offering good strength,UV resistance,and moderate cost.Check for uniform twist and tensile strength.Avoid overly thin or aged twine to prevent frequent breaks that reduce efficiency.
Q:What precautions are needed for use in low winter temperatures?
A:Warm up the hydraulic system thoroughly before operation.Use hydraulic fluid and lubricants suitable for low temperatures.Twine may become brittle;consider winter-grade twine or store it in a warm place.Avoid prolonged idling during breaks to prevent components from freezing.
