Amazing Mini Baler

[@rinksmum]

Very interesting, thanks for showing us!

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching. I understand that with the proper amount of hard work getting vendors, these mini balers are quite lucrative. From selling to craft stores to horse owners that want smaller bales while trailering their horses there's a lot of demand for the smaller bales. Again, thanks for watching and I hope you have a great evening and a great week in front of you.

I have never seen anything like that before! I've considered making my own mini-baler (just out of wood and hand feed and compacted) and selling the bales. At the local hobby stores...a mini bale of straw is going for $20! Figure can buy a big bale of straw for $30 dollars from a fried and sell them for $12 a piece as a side hobby....I mean why not!

[@LancoAmish]

A lot of the bales are sold to hobby stores. There’s also a market for smaller bales of quality feed for small animal owners. Some horse owners like smaller bales for day trips to competitions or just a riding day.

No shots of the finished product? It's great that it produces small bales, but how good are they? Are they tight? Are the knots good?

[@LancoAmish]

The mini balers are adjustable in the compaction of the bale. The knotter is the same type used on the larger balers. The machines must be pretty good they are about a year behind their orders now. Many are making excellent money selling to craft stores, small animal owners, and even horse owners for easy to manage bales on a weekend trip. I’ll keep it in mind for another video. I’ve been wanting to see one in actual use in the field or the stationary model being used in production.

Do you have a biodigester set up?

[@markthompson7961]

Where is this? I'm in KY, have a small pasture I just cut now because it would be less than 20 regular bales, would like one of these. I go to several farmers markets and never see the small bales here.

[@LancoAmish]

This is at a shop in Lancaster County PA. Here’s their website. You can call for info. Ask for Ivan. www.farm-landbalewrappers.com/

Didn't show much footage of the actual baler while it was baling. :-(

[@curtisstewart3179]

Earth Tools in Owensboro Kentucky has factory balers for their 2 wheel tractors, a pull behind with 13hp engine for ATV's, garden tractors, etc and one for small 4 wheel tractors with hydraulics and PTO.

[@jacobtietz5029]

Do they still make these mini balers for purchase? The website link attached to the older comments no longer exists. I am interested in getting one.

[@LancoAmish]

Here’s the link. The balers are made in this shop. The owner can either help you or direct you to someone who can. www.google.com/gasearch?q=farm%20land%20bale%20wrapper&tbm=&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5#lkt=overview&trex=m_t:lcl_akp,rc_ludocids:6514639958079271958,rc_q:farm%2520land%2520bale%2520wrapper,ru_gwp:0%252C7,ru_q:farm%2520land%2520bale%2520wrapper,trex_id:HwvnVb&lpg=cid:CgIgAQ==

@@LancoAmish Do you know if they supply Messicks? I got a quote on their mini baler that is built very, very similar, and just was looking for a more affordable option. A new pull behind like in the video is $22k from Messicks.

[@LancoAmish]

@@jacobtietz5029 , I believe they do. I’m not sure if they sell outside of Messick’s.

Stick with stacks and hay barns

How can I get in touch with these guys to consider buying one?

Old 273 baler

[@countryflyer4536]

The bales would come out better with Grass or Alfalfa

[@LancoAmish]

Many of these balers are purchased to make the straw bales people use during the Fall. Others are used to make small bales for horse owners that travel to shows and don’t want large bales for whatever reason.

[@adamd4987]

What model baler was this? I'd like to see if I can do this same conversion

[@C_J_81]

It looks very similar to a New Holland Super 66... But smaller. We had one when I was growing up... The cross plunger arrangement was a nightmare.

[@jerrodwaterman9793]

Looks like a 273

[@richardgranville8820]

What a crock

[@LancoAmish]

Richard Granville , please explain. I’d like to hear your reasons. Thanks for watching.

How could a pto driven baler be used in the field behind horses?

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching! Go to my channel and search power cart.

[@fl7422]

Hey there, how did you change the second machine to make smaller balls? thanks

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching. The width and height is dictated by the dimensions of the out- feed chute and the length can be made by adjusting the measuring wheel up or down. I think I have that right. I don’t make the machines I just video them. 🤣

[@gregbarker3774]

Where can I find out more information about the pto baler?

[@LancoAmish]

www.farm-landbalewrappers.com/ That’s the website of the ones manufacturing them now. They probably don’t have info about the mini balers but he can direct you to the right place. It’s Amish owned so you may have to be patient getting through.

[@jerryglen986]

Are these bailers built from scratch ?

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching. No, these are all retrofitted balers built in the 60-70’s or thereabouts. The baler is pretty much stripped down to bare bones and built back up. I should do a video on the process in the future. There are a lot of hours in the production still. They also make a stationary model that the user feeds straw etc into and it makes bales. I believe I show that one also in this video. That is even more made from scratch.
