Tag-Along Bale Scale
"It lets you know if bales are too heavy or light so you can adjust your baler accordingly. It's accurate to within half a pound," says California farmer-inventor Andrew Bloom about his new tag-along weigh scale for small square bales that lets you weigh bales on-the-go.
The scale rides on two small wheels directly behind the bale chamber. It attaches to the baler with two pins that form a hinge, allowing the unit to roll smoothly over uneven ground. A load cell that attaches to the platform weighs the bale and sends the weight of each bale to a monitor on the tractor. The monitor keeps a running total and will also keep separate totals on different fields so field performance can be rated. At the end of a baling session, the operator can easily get the total weight, number of bales, average weight, high weight, and low weight for a field.
To attach the weigher you first weld two steel plates under the bale chute. The unit can be adapted to fit most brands of small square balers.
