This is one of the solutions. There's no hard labour with a round baler and you only need 1 person. When the bale is formed inside the baler, a light will go on or a beeper will go off and you have to stop the tractor to allow the bale to roll out. No problem at all unless you're my daughter who's trying to get across the field with the camera to catch 'that' moment. Bare with us with the video, please! She manages to get a good shot at the end of the video.
The only downside to round bales is that new barns can be built to accommodate the size of round bales but the mangers of older barns are usually too small so only the normal-sized square bales can fit.
Now that I've seen the video play on here, I wonder if it's possible to load it wrong? It was clearer before I loaded it and it's my first video ever, so not sure why it's blurry, as if the lense was wet. Oh well, I'll leave it for now. Maybe we'll get better at this!
Round bales are a sight for sore eyes. Just ask my kids. They'll tell ya. It means the work's done and more's the better if the bales didn't get rained on! And I just like the look of the bales in the field and later in the barn.
