This is outside at the museum of old farming implements where I went on a tractor parade.

It’s a first series Roto-baler.

Were they a good baler? What size tractor did you normally use with these?

Grandpa had one. Claimed the hay made was better quality than a square baler.
Dad always said a CA was the perfect tractor for a Rotobaler.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

A tractor like a WD or a CA was ideal because they had a Hand Clutch.
It was necessary to stop forward motion and allow the Baler to continue running and add the Baler Twine to the Bale of Hay.

We operated ours circa 1970 with a D14 or D15 and that was more than enough.
We were a New Holland square bailer family, but my dad was always trying new things.
Dad learned that we could wrap up the second or third cutting and just drop them in the field. We turned the cattle in and, sure enough, they would do a good job on one or two or three bales at a time, rather that scattering everything everywhere.
In Ohio, the first cutting is largely timothy. Good stuff. After-cutting is more alfalfa and clover. Really good stuff.
I wonder where our roto bailer is today. Perhaps you have it.
