It has been a few years since I baled with a Roto but looks like you need to tighten the brake a little to tighten the bales up. Always loved baling, hauling and feeding the roto bales.
You are correct. The last time I used this baler was about 20yrs go. I totally forgot about the brake. My attention was on greasing and oiling up all the moving parts. Thanks for watching!
@@The1952caallis Years, and years ago knew an old fellow who would hook up his roto baler pull it into the drive way and after he greased all the zerks and oiled all he could see he would take a gallon of used oil diesel fuel mix, crank the pto to operational speed and throw the fuel oil mix onto any and every moving part. I would never recommend being within 15 feet of a roto that was running but it worked for him. He baled thousands of bales every year and had good bales. I will always be amazed by the mechanical genius of this machine. So simple yet complex. I still marvel at how little fuel is need to churn out hay all day long. Thanks for bringing back memories.

Looks like the hand clutch really comes in handy with this type of stop/go operation. Are you going to use an AC bale loader to pick up the round bales? That'd be a neat video. Thanks for all the CA videos...they are great and really show what this tractor can do.
I wonder what happened to the Baylors with the motor engine on the side my Grandparents had a Allis Chalmers Baylor that had an engine on the side instead of canister.
Great video! Always enjoy watching a Roto Baler at work. Haven't had much of an opportunity to watch the tying cycle from the front. Does the twine arm dangle the cut twine in front of the incoming charge of hay to feed it into the chamber or is there something I'm not seeing. Also, do you use binder twine in those balers?
Good day Boy that little ca was working right along. How many bales / hr can you do? Another had allis baler , bales laid there till second cut. He said better feed quality, because it roll it in. Thanks
Love seeing old equipment still doing the job.
Grand dad baled many days with the same outfit. Brings back so many great memories. First tractor I drove as a kid.

@@mikekf0eap16 I use the diesel fuel trick on my 14T with the same results.

I wish I had a bale loader, but the wife and I picked up the bales by hand. Thanks for watching!

Sounds like a good running system
Yes, except for that knocking toward the end that sounded like someone trying to get out of a barrel with an axe.,,,
That tractor is a strong worker.
That's great but it must be tough on the clutch
Good day If u were at the headland & no more hay, the machine said stop to tie bale do u have to stop, no more hay coming in? Thanks
You are correct, when the Baler is wrapping the bale ( it doesn’t tie a knot) it stops feeding hay and you must stop forward travel.

The twine dangles and the hay pulls it in the chamber. Yes the Roto-Baler uses binder twine.
Thanks for watching!
@@The1952caallis It's neat how that works. One of those balers are on my "To Get" list. Need more indoor storage first.
Nice video! Love to see the roto baler in action....very nice
This guy knows his baler . Some people can get along good and other people can not .
Good day Boy that little ca was working right along. How many bales / hr can you do? Another had allis baler , bales laid there till second cut. He said better feed quality, because it roll it in. Thanks
It depends on how big the windows and bales are, but 240-250 per hour or 1920-2000 bales in an 8 hour day.
Need to tighten brake it would make a better bale
Ur leaving half of it yet on ground
And I get tired of stopping to tie 6ft round bales…. I can’t imagine doing this all day!
My dad had 1when I was a kid. Pulled it with a WD. With a big windrow he could kick out 7 bales a minute.
I would hook that thang up to cab tractor and go all day
