Non-Stop Round Baler

Non-Stop Round Baler BALERS Balers 25-1-25 Geoff Eyre continues to get a lot of attention for his first-of-its-kind non-stop baler, which has been featured previously in FARM SHOW (Vol 22, No. 4). Eyre says his baler works twice as fast as today's fastest round baler. His prototype is based on a Claas Rollant, turned through 90? and fed by a modified pickup. As a bale in the chamber finishes and the wrap cycle starts, the bale chamber entrance is blocked and hay starts to roll on the hay "elevator", forming a soft mini bale. After 12 to 15 seconds, the wrap/eject cycle finishes, at which point the mini bale is swept into the chamber. The roller then quickly closes back to normal working height and the main bale forms. Eyre hopes to complete testing this year on the non-stop concept. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Geoff Eyre, Mill Farm House, Brough Bradwell, Hope Valley, Derbyshire, England.
