Mini hay balers are farm equipment used to harvest and bale hay quickly and easily. They can be towed by a pickup truck or small tractor and come with twine or plastic strapping capabilities and automatic ejection. They have an entry chute, mechanisms to compact and shape hay, and an exit chute. They can also be used for waste management, landscaping, and collecting and bundling pine straw. The cost depends on the features included.
A mini hay baler is a type of farm equipment designed to make the task of harvesting and baling hay relatively quick and easy. Designed for single family and small farm use, these smaller balers can easily be towed behind a pickup truck or small tractor. Models of this type usually come with twine or plastic strapping capabilities and may also have features such as automatic ejection once the bale is complete.
The basic configuration of a hay baler includes an entry chute that serves as an entry point for the hay. Inside the body of the equipment are components that help compact and shape the hay into a workable bale. Also included are mechanisms that help secure the bale with the use of twine or plastic strapping. There are some models that also allow for the use of metal strapping to secure the bales. One final key aspect of the design is the exit chute, which can be automated for convenience or require manual intervention to remove the finished bale from the machine.
Some models for the mini hay baler are designed to allow the device to remain stationary while workers use the forks to feed hay into the infeed chute. A different design allows the device to be equipped with a collection arm and a tube which detaches and recovers the hay when the machine is towed by a tractor or other type of small vehicle. Choosing which type of mini hay baler to use will often depend on the amount of area involved in harvesting and the volume of hay that harvesting and baling requires. In terms of cost, you can get a basic baler with fewer features for a low price, with the cost increasing as additional automated features are included.
While the mini hay baler is designed to harvest and bale hay for storage or sale, the equipment can be used for other applications as well. As part of a waste management process, the baler can also handle smaller plants such as corn stalks, effectively compacting and baling the stalks for easy disposal. Likewise, this type of farm baler also works well for collecting and baling any type of tall grass, a task that can make landscaping a tract of land easier. The mini hay baler can also be used effectively to recover, compact and bundle pine straw which can be stored for later use as mulch or sold for profit.
