Diydave said: (quoted from post at 18:38:31 01/15/14) You weren't stopping, you would slip the power director lever
just enough to slow the feed of hay, 7 seconds to wrap the bale
with twine, kick lever back as you eject the bale, start the next.
Main attraction then as now, with round bales is twofold. First,
they are waterproof, baling to beat a rain, and your bales are
undamaged, if they get wet. Second, the round baler, then, as
now, wraps up the entire hay stem, in a circle, whereas the
square baler cuts a percentage of the hay, on each compression
stroke. ?
If you think requiring to "slow down" 7 seconds isn't STOPPING you're dreaming. My large rd baler requires 8 seconds from netwrap alarm to eject(back to baling) and I promise you my tractor is sitting at a dead stop. I still can't imagine how tiring it would have to "slow down"(STOP) to wrap every 50# bundle of hay.
On cattle eating sq baled hay they DON'T take the cut end(similar to sucking on a straw) into their mouth but rather grab stalk in the middle folding stems to start chewing.[/quote]
