How Do Round Balers Work? | MD F&H

Joe Ligo takes a look inside a New Holland BR7060 Silage Special to show how this machine rolls up giant round bales! Then, he demonstrates how the bales are wrapped in airtight plastic to preserve the hay so it can be fed to cows months later.

When I was a teen and into my early 20's, we used a HOOK to pull the bails off the baler and stack on the wagon. 1st year I stacked in the barn, 2nd year, move up to trailer stacking, 3rd year, I drove the tractor and had 2 kids working the trailer. Did bailing for 5 years and enjoyed it!

Very nice. I had NewHolland balers for the last 30 yrs . The number 1 baler in my estimation! The most brilliant bale kicker in the business.

Thanks for the information

We're sitting here watching a load of hay getting delivered and wondered how they make them round. Your video was perfect. I've never seen plastic used here in Australia, they tend to use just baling wire instead. Do you know why that is? Cheers

[@madalinak7244]

I LOVED THIS!! Thank youuu!!!

[@dominiquekane5851]

[@willowway4104]

Very cool!!

[@ZERO_42069]

That’s so cool

[@sohailce]

Interesting way of describing.

[@mattemondo]

Very cool video. I have a question: i m interested in the problems that could happen with the round baler during the baling season with focus on the idler sprocket? How often do you change them? What is the main cause of idler sprocket failure? Thanks

[@skbell520]

Where in Maryland?

[@baldrick1485]

Transport of round bale is more difficult and you lose space. Square is far better. And it is made with machinery too.

[@gurtaijsingh4935]

Do you want the baler technician and experienced person. So I am ready for job...

[@emilyheller2993]

Too much plastic, otherwise cool/ gtk!

[@LauraMarsh-uq1lu]

That’s the bale wrapping works

[@RedheadedMusic]

We need better methods than wrapping in plastic. So bad for humans and animals. There has to be a wiser method to do this???
