Depending on how the hay is brought out of storage, how the customer will unload and the bale handling products available, both methods of loading can be used without sacrificing any space. If a customer wants to unload by hand the strings of the small square bales are more accessible if the bundles are flipped over. Loading/unioading with a bale spear also works better if the bundles are flipped over.

The spacer bar prevents bales from jamming together, HOW IT WORKS THE OF THE BALE BARON PROCESS Loading ‘The 2-stage injector pushes each bale into the chamber inserting 3 bales into a stack. Three-bale stacks are consecutively pushed into the chamber by the plunger to form a bundle, Small Bale Convenience Meets Large Scale Efficiency A full row consists of three bales that will build a pack of 21, 18 or 9 bales in total. Once the injector positions the last bale in place, the Bale Baron compresses and ties the pack together using a Rasspe Knotter. As the next bundle is formed the pack is pushed out of the chamber, rolls down the ramp and is gently placed on the ground. STAGE 4 Tie Cycle Using the double knot system, a Rasspe knotter ties the large bundle together with plastic twine to safely and securely bind the pack. During the tle cycle the endgates olose, plunger compresses bundle, and the knotter engages and tes off bundle. STAGE 1 In-field Pick up No gathering chains! Each bale is gently ited by vertical rollers, placed on a belt, and conveyed to the rotary table. Simply steer the Bale Baron unit in piace and the guides ensue the bale enters the belt conveyor perfectly, Tall models have an arliculated chute to guide bales directly off the baler. STAGE 5 Ejection Once complete, the endgates open and asthe next bundle is being formed, the newiy ted bundle exis the chamber nto the sloped roller ramp which assists with gentle placement on the ground.DRIVEN PRODUCTION INCREASE YOUR PRODUCTION AND SIMPLIFY YOUR OPERATION ‘The innovative self-propelled Bale Baron is the ultimate in small bale packaging systems.
