I had thought about the old Allis Rotobalers - I had heard some were rigged to run off two-cylinder Wisconsin air-cooled engines, because, when they were introduced, there were still a lot of tractors in service with no PTO, just a flat-belt pulley. I have never seen a Rotobaler set up this way, only with PTO shaft drives. These made small round bales - you can find videos on You-Tube. Several old-timers have told me livestock greatly preferred the round bales to square bales - the hay didn't poke their mouths as much. There are also several small Italian brands of round balers, and a couple of "boutiquey" miniature square balers to make decorative hay bales. If you are just interested in using it as green manure, a hay chopper and forage wagon(s) would do the trick, I think.

So it's a hay picker-upper followed by a hammer mill? Add a sickle bar, and you have all in one step. The problem, though, is volume, no?  Perhaps this is where a simple hyhdraulic ram could spit out compressed, untied bales. A baler would compact the straw perhaps 5 times or so, with hydraulics, perhaps many more times, to make picking up mulch very effective, perhaps on one single platform consisting of sickle-compactor-trailer. That could be good. Just a pull-behind for [[LifeTrac]].

Overview

Baler

A Baler compresses hay and other light and dispersed materials into more compact bales.

Detail

A Baler is a piece of farm machinery used to compress a cut and raked crop (such as hay, cotton, straw, or silage) into compact bales that are easy to handle, transport and store. Several different types of balers are commonly used, each producing a different type of bales – rectangular or cylindrical, of various sizes, bound with twine, strapping, netting, or wire.
