Great video, rake and baler work great in hay/ long grass but im curious on how both machines handle picking up and clearing dead fallen leaves that could make a great video
Thanks for watching! We actually do have customers who use the balers for this after hay season when the leaves are falling. There's just a few things to keep in mind when baling different types of materials. Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions and we're happy to help you however we can. Maybe that's a video for the future! 260-225-3429
@@Tractortoolsdirect would you possibly consider doing a video where you're baling different materials and how to set up the machinery to do so please, I'm in the UK and these balers are starting to come over to the UK and Europe
I really like the setup and have myself and 2 other hobby farms lined up to buy the bales. Like one other guy said, I want to control the timing of the baling process so we have good quality hay. Does anyone know if the bales sell on the open market? If I have excess bales I would like to sell them but they are different. I guess if the quality is good someone will buy these things and figure out a way to stack them. Thank you, Tony
Thanks for watching! Feel free to give us a call and we are happy to help however we can. 260-225-3429. Good hay will speak for itself and stacking these bales are a piece of cake. You can stack like firewood, on pallets, straight up and down in a barn etc.. We can share a few pictures of how our customers stack bales as well via info@tractortoolsdirect.com. Thanks!
Market them to horse and pony owners. I should think that women and the elderly especially would be grateful of the added ease and conveniencet of their light weight and portability. You could probably sell them at a greater profit for this "Fun size" alone, as it is with all convenience sized products everywhere.

The only way I can see this mini round baler being worth it is if you crank the weight of bales up to about 60 to 80 pounds or so and have it as a baler and wrapper combination. That way, you would cut your time somewhat. I have seen on RU-vid that they do this on some farms in Europe. So the question is, do these mini balers come with a combination wrapper?
Is this a wrapper that is in COMBINATION with the baler? In other words, as a bale is being made the previous bale is being wrapped all in the same motion on the same tractor.
@@tyleracmason Our bale wrapper is a separate unit that is operated via pto and hooked up via 3 point hitch. If you have any questions feel free to give us a call and we are happy to help. Thanks for watching!
@@Tractortoolsdirect I'm sorry but that's not worth it. Might as well square bale. I would buy one if the bales could be made a little bigger and come with combo wrapper to save time. Doing it this way would be more time consuming and harder to handle than square bales. Sorry!
I wouldn't like to be the owner of animals who got to eat that hay before it was opened out and dusted. Phew. That was a helluva lotta dust. Anyway, great product and great job of making it so widely compatible and compliant in all situations. 👏👏
Thanks for watching. Hard telling why this hay was so dusty on this one since this video was made 6 years ago. We do end up baling some unusual pastures and places to test our equipment from time to time and have bales from all types of material sitting around the warehouse for us to use when testing equipment. That sure was dusty though! Thanks again!
Thanks for watching! Pine straw is used as a type of mulch in certain areas of the country. These balers work great to bale the straw from in-between the pine tree rows.
@@Sionnach1601 When the pine needles fall off the trees they are raked into a windrow in the space between the tree rows and then baled for eventual use as landscaping mulch.
@@Sionnach1601 The industry refers to pine needles when they drop as pine "straw". They use the needles/straw as a mulch or alternative to wood mulch etc.. No grain crops there. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!

Yes it'll run the mini baler. They're running it in the video with a B-Series with a 23HP engine, so if you have a BX2380 or BX2680 either will run it fine, even the BX1880 may run it.

Thanks for watching! The Abbriata mini round balers do require one remote hydraulic line to operate the rear tailgate however, our IBEX mini rounds balers do not require tractor hydraulics or tractor electric power to operate. Those are all self contained within the baler. Let us know if you have any questions and we're happy to help! 260-225-3429
Think horse and pony *owners* smart arse. Lots of them are women and girls, plus you've got elderly people who are still in love with keeping a few ole animals around, and these lighter bales make it possible for all of these people to easily transport them by hand. And where they can't lift them, they can just roll them along, so they have that advantage over small square bales.

Thanks for watching! A 2410 will have a bit more lift capacity and just slightly more HP. Very similar though, the 2410 has just a bit more capability.
@@Tractortoolsdirect Oh, cool, then should work with your current Hay package compact pro? It's a possible purchase for next year though, but making our plans this year.

No, 15 acres is still ok. Once you get over around 20 acres, you should be looking to switch to one of our small square balers (see other videos). Thanks for your question.
@@bodhixxx1, He could have adjusted the rake. The balers have been used for decades in Europe. One can get a fifty-sixty# bale by adjusting the tension. Haymaking equipment is expensive, so one should do the math! Personally, I can't stand to depend on someone else to do my work. Probably an ego problem. But, this equipment can pay for itself after a few years, depending on how much one uses it. It is definitely geared for the hobby farmer, not to make money off of. Baling pine straw, now that may be a money maker! The rake works great and is almost fool proof. By the way I use it on a "walking tractor". I just like the exercise and the ability to work very steep slopes!
Check out some of our other videos of us cutting, raking and baling on the farm! This is a simple demo on the front warehouse lawn. Thanks for watching!
