Small square hay baler-THB series

[tim52160]

I wonder how that baler would do in regular size hay windrows? Looks like with the smaller bales it would dry down better in storage and make better quality hay.

I think you're right about the quality. 25~30# bales are easier to handle, too. Pickup width on the THB1031 is 34", 37" at the flares, 43" at gathering wheel. THB2031 is 50" and 53".

those pine tree rows cant dry very fast

cool !!!

[luckyonefastone]

is that attachment all gear driven?

[hayman5]

Yes. PTO drives flywheel, then into gearbox for plunger drive, pickup is belt driven. Just like a JD or NH baler.

ok,thanks!

you are driving way to fast....

I don't know why everyone's thumbing you down, you're telling the truth. The ideal speed for that baler is probably 1/2 of what he's doing, you can tell by how he's throwing chaff everywhere with the pickup tines.

I wonder if his tractor doesn't have the horsepower to support that baler unless he revs up?

[hayman5]

Yeah, I was driving fast to show the capacity of the baler. That chaff is from the dead weeds I was baling, hay wouldn't do that. My 24 PTO HP tractor is fine, factory specs say 13 HP minimum.

Nice looking little baler.Looks ideal for small farms.

Jaysus why didnt you swing the drawbar over?..flattening the swaths ya eejit.

Sir, to which section of the vid are you referring? Pine tree rows force us to bale in transport position. They are not very regular in width as well. And running over fresh pine needles does no harm to them. Butt thank you for your comment. -Don
