Often, bales are configured to dry and preserve some intrinsic (e.g. the nutritional) value of the plants bundled.
Synthetic baling twine tied around bales of hay. Baling twine or baler twine is a small diameter sisal or synthetic twine used to bind a quantity of fibrous material (notably hay or straw) into a more compact and easily-stacked form. [citation needed] Tensile strengths of single-ply baling twine range from 95 psi (0.66 MPa) to 325 psi (2.24 MPa ...
For 1941 the MD model was introduced as the first row crop diesel-powered tractor; over a decade later, IH's largest competitor, John Deere, introduced a diesel option on their row crop models. The letter series tractors were updated to the "super" series in 1953 (with the exception of the A, which had become a "super" in 1947, and the B and BN ...
John Francis Appleby (1840–1917) was an American inventor who developed a knotting device to bind grain bundles with twine.It became the foundation for all farm grain binding machinery and was used extensively by all the major manufacturers of large grain harvesting machines in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The John Deere PowerShift transmission was an eight-speed semi-automatic transmission without a torque converter, used in John Deere tractors, including the iconic John Deere Model 4020. [1] The Powershift is not to be confused with similar John Deere transmissions (including the Quad-Range and the PowrQuad [ 2 ] ), or with the Ford Ultra ...
Balers are usually pulled by a tractor, with larger balers requiring more powerful tractors. Mobile balers, machines that gather and bale hay in one process were first developed around 1940. The initial balers produced rectangular bales that were small enough for an individual to lift, typically weighing between 70 and 100 pounds (32 to 45 kg ...
Several different types of balers are commonly used, each producing a different type of bales – rectangular or cylindrical (round), of various sizes, bound with twine, netting, or wire. The round hay baler was invented by Ummo F. Luebben of Sutton, Nebraska, which he conceived with his brother Melchior in 1903, and then patented in 1910.
The McCormick company introduced the first of many twine binder machines in 1881, leading to the so-called "Harvester Wars" that gained the attention of the farm industry during the 1880s. Case tractor. In 1884, Case made a visit to a farm named after him in Minnesota upon receiving news that one of his thresher machines was not working ...
