What about a Miniature Hay Baler??

[BeckyG]

Is anyone familiar with compact hay balers??

Currently we buy hay. But we would really like to be more self reliant for hay supply… if we can.

We have a few acres and a smaller size tractor. It cannot handle a “regular” hay baler.

But we have found this compact hay baler that sounds perfect.

It can create square bales from only 20 lbs – 70 lbs.

Gosh, the whole idea of smaller square bales sounds great to me. So much easier to handle. (And with mini horses…. What could be better???

)

Here is the link to a site => www.smallfarminnovations.com/compactsquarebalers.html

Anyone know anything about them??

What are your thoughts??

Thanks,

Becky

I bought a lot of compressed alfalfa hay out of Michigan for the winter.

They weigh 200+ pounds. Not easy to manuever. They take up half the space.

We personally dont have one but some people down the road do and their bales are always so small -- they look VERY easy to manage. We bale most of our own hay and I am trying to convince my husband to get one of these little balers so that the bales would be more managable for me but so far he says no -- haha

Good luck if you get one.
