Good vid.
I like how the guy with the bale wagon would hit the bales to turn them 90deg to pick them up. I wonder what they use the bales for. It couldn't have any feed value I wouldn't think.

I think they are sold for bio-fuel. They designed the baler to run behind the combines basically to catch the weed seed before it hit the ground. They are finding more and more weeds are becoming resistant to herbicides so they are trying to eliminate the seed. If you google Glenvar there is a lot of good reading on their operation.

A friend of mine boards horses and buys those big square of soybean stalks and feeds them to the horses. He says there's not alot of nutritional value to them, especially compared to hay but he can buy them so cheap compared to big squares of hay. Mind you none of the horses he boards are prize animals, it's just a low budget place for some of the people without land to board their horses.
Do those balers have their own power units or are they driven off of the combine? Very neat video.

The bailer has it's own engine. One part of the video shows the service truck filling it's fuel tank. It's a great video. Thanks for posting it.

Looks like they could use a bigger "chase bin". I guess I'm used to seeing the 1200 bushel ones around here used for 200 bu/acre corn.
Production on Glenvar
Wheat straw is produced on
Glenvar as a bi-product of the wheat production. The residue from the
harvesting process is layed in rows behind the harvester and then baled.
A small amount is baled directly out of the back of the harvester.
The entire wheat residue is baled producing up to 8000T annually.
|
|
End Users
The wheat straw is sold to local feed mills that use the wheat in the production of pellets for livestock.

Did the cameraman crawl in the bin while the separator was running ? Thats a good way to lose a leg.
