Small Square Baler??

[scesnick]

I have seen a few on ebay that baled 4"x7"x11" or so, it was a manual job that you worked in a workshop. I also saw where someone took an older NH and "down-sized" the chamber to a smaller bale.

Is this what you were thinking?

No, not really, I guess I didn't explain well enough, I want normal sized bales but I have a small tractor and need a smaller sized baler

Messicks are the ones that have these balers built and sell them. If you go to their website it links you to this site where you can see video of them working. Mini Hay Balers

if you're not talking the mini bales and want reg. size bales and you have a small tractor you may need to get an older nh (hayliner 77) or jd (14t), some of these balers have pony motors to run the baler no pto required. they wont shake the tractor as bad as a pto baler will,but if you have hilly terrain you may have some difficulty again depends on the size of your tractor.

Farmerjim,

Yes, I am looking for a small baler. Not small haybales. Thanks for the info.

Sorry scesnick- I got confused. You might look into Used Tractors at TractorHouse.com: John Deere Tractors, used farm tractors and farm equipment, Case IH, New Holland, Agco, Caterpillar. -its been a real education for me on what different models of different equipment are.

Thanks Robert_ I remember seeing those someplace, couldn't remember where.

Dependin on how small your tractor is, you may want to look at mini round balers, something like this agriquip

You would be better off telling what your tractor is, and people could recommend what might be appropriate behind it. I've seen an 8n Ford pull a baler with a Wisconsin motor on it so the Ford didn't have to power the baler, but it still worked the little tractor HARD. Think how much weight you are pulling, terrain you are on, and the momentum of that plunger slamming back and forth in the bale chamber...

I used to have an older ford baler that not only was small and light to pull with a tractor but also produced a slightly smaller bale that was great for younger help.
