The Benefits of Balers
To successfully manage a farm, you need several tools. Even small agricultural operations rely on the power of machines, like a hay baler, to get their work done. In fact, without a hay baler, a whole lot of farming tasks would go back to the back-breaking manual labor that was necessary before the advent of modern equipment.
At Burrows Tractor, we know that getting the right baler can make all the difference between a successful harvest and an average yield. That’s why we have put together this quick guide to help you understand the perks of getting this useful tool for your farm. To find out more, or to view some quality balers for sale, get in touch with us at one of our dealerships in Yakima, Wenatchee, and Sunnyside, WA, as well as North Plains, OR.
Save Time, Effort, and Money
Hay must be collected into bales in order to be moved easily from field to barn and elsewhere on your property. However, baling by hand simply takes too long if your fields are large. Thankfully, balers have revolutionized harvesting by helping growers work more efficiently. These machines are designed to gather your harvest and roll them up into bales for quick and easy transportation, whether you want to store them in your barn or at any other place. Neat and tidy bales not only reduce your storage space, but they also reduce your transportation cost because you can certainly load more bales into a container or truck, as compared to the loose ones.
Ease of Use
The reason why most big farming operations rely on balers is that these machines ensure quality bales. The rotary feeding system is easy to use, service, and adjust. The smooth flow reduces leaf loss and provides consistent bales. Balers are also equipped with a wide range of other innovative features that help you reduce waste and increase productivity by quickly packing thousands of dense, uniform bales, no matter what the crop condition.
Reuse Crop Residue
Materials that were once waste are now reusable and almost every conceivable type of waste that can be reused or recycled is either too bulky or too small and loose to handle efficiently. In order to effectively handle your recyclable waste or resources, you need a baling machine to compress the waste material into bales. Baling the straw that is left on the field after harvesting or crop residue into rectangular or round bales is an important step in handling the waste material for other applications, such as animal feeding, fuel, and fiber for paper manufacturing.
Choosing the Right Baler
First and foremost, you need to make sure that the baler you choose is going to be compatible with your tractor. While most units are flexible, there are certain factors you’ll need to be thinking about. This includes how much additional weight your tractor can handle, how wide the implement can be before it becomes too big for the tractor, and how much horsepower your machine is packing. All of these factors are going to influence the size of the baler you can get.
