Straw baling 2001

[Gordy Schultz]

Hey guys this was my big baling rig in 2001 the tractor is a Caseih mx 170 and the baler was a caseih 8575. That was the year i pulled a service truck behind the baler. We built a hich for the baler and a tow bar for the truck. It was quite a site at night with all the lights i had on it. From all the flashers to the two revolving lights on the truck and baler. I looked high and low for a picture of them hooked together but i can't find one. But if you look close in picture three you can see my service truck parked by the barn.

Cool pics. What is the liquid tank used for? I have seen them before but I never did know what they were for. Is for inocculant or something like that?

[Gordy Schultz]

yes the tank is for propreonic acid it is a preservative to keep the hay from molding. It is not used on straw.

Thanks. Does it apply it to the bale after it is made or while it is being made?

Gordy Why haven't you pulled a baler since?

That is applied while the bale is getting made, basically mixed into the hay. It helps dry the hay out and keep it from molding, that stuff is also used on silage.
