2008 Manitoba Flax Harvest

i can remember combining flax with our 760 when i was just a kid. it was a nightmare. paddles in the feeder house instead of a feeder chain was not a good idea

Hmmm... don't have any issues at all on ours. No chains, just paddles.

We make sure to keep them perfectly in time, and keep the rubbers fresh.

Is this retted flax and can square bales be obtained easily?

[christianh158]

retting is the process of breaking down the hard outer shell, exposing the core fibres. We do that by simply leaving the swaths to "decompose" for a few weeks before bailing. Then, we simply bale it up... Usually round bales here for bedding, but we can square-bale it too in 14" x 18" x 3' - 5' bales.
