Round Baling/5030 style

[5030]

This series of pictures are the round baler behind the 5030 in the field that was pictured in the previous series being mowed. I rolled 70 bales on this field last evening. This picture is starting a bale.

Another picture, building the bale in the round baler.

Picking up the windrow and building the bale. This picture is from a ways away and my wife is not to good with the telephoto, so excuse the fuzzy look.

The bale is almost done, time to start the twining operation.

Ejecting the bale, the stuff you see blowing is chaff from the baling operation. As the bale rolls, it will loose some leaves and it comes out as chaff. I'm glad I have AC and the windows closed. It was about 79 degrees when these pictures were taken, and humid too.

Moving away from the bale and starting a new bale.

Another picture fgrom afar, pleas excuse my wife's phototography skills. She's a better horseperson than photographer.

A closeup of the baler and tractor--with ME in it.

The final picture, a rear view, actually in focus. Thanks Amy!!! That's some FINE hay. I don't know if I'll keep it or SELL it.

(78 actually). Come on down to the Southeast, if you want some real heat and humidity (like 100 degrees with 90 percent humidity) /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Nice pics, by the way.
