It been doing this a while, I clean it out and after a few bales hay is gathering up by the belt and baler. Everything seems ok, just wondering if I have a developing problem. Going to add a picture if I can figure it out. Thanks

I am thinking of taking two 20 ft containers and using them for the sides and building a roof over them. I have a rented place where I could put them. Figure if I built them on skids I(maybe railroad ties) it would make a nice portable shed to store some bales, park a tractor, or other things at the that place since it is a ways from some of my other ground. Anyone done this and if so how do you like it?

I'm looking for all good or bad info as I'm handling small square bales way to much. I do about 20,000 bales a year and load them on to goose neck trailer, then off load them by hand again. Do you use the NH stack retriever's or Hauser stack retriever's ? What's the going price for a good one ? Any other info you have feel free to add it.

the hay in the bale chamber is tight and firm but the strings around it are loose. When it ejects of course it puffs out and is loose. Is my knotter not tying fast enough?
