Manual Mini Hay Baler

Here in Oregon, baled hay is now selling for between $50.00and $90.00 a ton, If prices are similar in your area, maybeyou've looked into the possibility of raising your own andgiven up when you found that balers, tractors, rakes, windrowers, etc, cost a small fortune, But what if you learnedthat you could put up a ton of baled hay a day or even justhalf a ton with no outlay other than the expense of abarrel? Well, you can with a homemade hay baler!First, it's important to realize that many fields of grasswhich go uncut because of the high cost of conventionalhaymaking could be harvested by less expensive methods like a homemade hay baler. Atractor mower is great if you can get the use of one, butif not, a small meadow can be cut by hand (and raked in thesame way).You may not even have to do any cutting. In this state, thehighway department owns a large amount of land in the formof right-of-ways, some of which may never be used.

Thetracts are mowed regularly each year and then just leftalone and, with proper permission, the grass is yours forthe raking. Be careful, however, not to gather hay that hasbeen sprayed, or grown by the side of a really heavilytraveled road (motor vehicle exhaust does contain lead, youknow). Incidentally, straw left after the harvest of grassseed or grain may also be collected and baled by simplemethods.Amateur haying can be quite effective. One of us, in fact,made a ton of hay in a single long working day just by handraking cured grass and packing it in a homemade gadget thatcost practically nothing and operated very well. Actually, the idea of a 'stationary baler' such as this homemade hay baler isn't new, manyfarms formerly had such devices. Although we've never seenone of the old-time models, we understand that the machinewas basically a large, cubical mold into which cured haywas piled. A horse was then walked in a circle to raise aweight that, when tripped, dropped to compact the fodder.The advantage of this system over loose storage was slim ifthere was any at all.

The invention we're about to describeis a much smaller unit, intended for use by those who wantto put up modest amounts of hay but have no access tostandard equipment.Remove one end of the barrel. Cut the containerdown the middle in half lengthwise to form two equal,semi-cylindrical halves.

Weld two hinges, appropriatelyspaced, to one of the long seams. Welt! Two sets oftabs (cut from scrap angle iron) to the edges of the otherseam, so that the two sides of the opening are equippedwith facing surfaces which can lie clamped together, You'llalso need an X-shaped configuration of wood or metal, witha hook or bent nail at each extremity. This device shouldjust fit into the bottom of the container.To prepare the baler for operation, close the drum andsecure the edges of the two halves with clamps screwed tothe tabs. Cut two lengths of baling twine —no substitutes — and drape them down in the barrel so that theycross each other at right angles with their center sectionsheld by the hooks at the bottom of the barrel and theirfree ends hanging over the drum's wall. The ends of thestrings are then fastened loosely to a band of twinerunning around the outside of the barrel, to keep them fromfalling down inside the container and being lost when thehay is added.OK, you're all set to make a bale.

Just pack the barrelwith loose hay, stomp on the fodder to compact it, and tieeach length of twine with a 'trucker's hitch': Loop one endof the string, pass the other through the loop, cinch up,and secure the fastening with a double half hitch. Thenremove the clamps, open the barrel, and take out yourproduct. You'll find a bundle weighing 50 to 70 pounds notas neat or compact as those formed by the conventionalbaler, but still a functional, easily stored unit. Yep,this rather primitive method really works and the price ofthe equipment is hard to beat.
