Mini Round Hay Baler

As the name suggests, a mini round hay baler is a piece of farm machinery used to rake and compress hay into compact round shapes to be easy to handle and store. Conversely, hay is a type of livestock feed consisting of dried and compressed forage plants such as clover or alfalfa. Large round bales are highly efficient since the hay or straw is packed much more tightly compared to square bales. Their round shape also helps them shed rain if stored outdoors or in the field.

Working mechanism of mini round hay balers

A mini round baler is usually made to be pulled behind a tractor through a field of hay that has been cut. As the tractor moves, the baler pulls the hay into the machine. Inside the baler, belts and rollers roll the hay into tight circles. The bales get larger as more straw is pulled into the machine and wrapped when the bale reaches the desired size. As soon as the bale is wrapped, the baler is opened to let out the bale from the back of the machine. A power take-off shaft from the tractor powers a baler. The PTO is what pulls the baler. Newer balers also come with an attached monitor. This monitor displays information such as the moisture content and weight of the bale.

Advantages of mini round hay balers

One significant advantage of a round baler is that it is both easy to obtain and generally more affordable than square balers. Also, due to their continuous rolling process, round balers pick up hay much quicker than square bales. That implies a significant reduction in the time spent baling hay, freeing up time to be spent on other relevant tasks. Another benefit of round balers is their ability to bale hay with higher moisture content than square balers. This is because round bales are more dense and thus tend to shed water more effectively. The round hay baler's ability to bale hay with higher moisture content allows farmers to bale hay in slightly damp conditions without risking spoilage or mold.

Square vs. mini round hay balers

Apart from the obvious difference - the shape, the main difference between a square and a round mini baler is the size of the bale they produce. Square bales generally tend to be lighter and smaller than round bales. That explains why many farmers opt for round bales if they have large livestock and smaller square bales if they have fewer animals to feed.
