Gordon St.Hilaire and his family farm are moving forward walking viewers through our next step in our hay production process which is the baling of our hay. We use two balers on the farm. Today, we are introducing our New Holland 450 Utility baler. This is a round baler and is strictly a dry only hay baler. It has a variable chamber to produce different size bales as well. We primarily produce 4x4 round bales for our needs. This baler was bought new a few years back and is very simple to operate. It uses conventional baler twine and requires maintenance such as greasing, pick up head adjustment and the oiling of chains before each use. About 90% of the hay we produce is round bales. We do still produce some square bales as well. We will discuss that baler next time. Have a great day!
