Releasing the bale... by thewatersphotos

Releasing the bale...

As the tractor collects the hay, the baler if constantly "rolling" it into a huge cube. Once it reaches capacity (not sure if it is by weight of circumference) an alarm sounds to signify the bale needs to be released. Matthew backs up the tractor then opens the baler to release the bale, which rolls out behind. He closes the baler and continues down the windrow to pick up the remaining hay...until the field is clean!
Great pic and discription.

Clever aren’t they?

They have certainly made making hay easier.

Fascinating to watch I'd imagine. Dirty, dusty and hot work.

@cwbill For sure, Bill! This seemed to take a lot of work, but truly the tractors and machines do most of the hard work.
