The Bale Band-It- Brooke White

*This machine is pulled behind a small square baler. When the square bales come out of the baler, they ender into the bale band-it. The band-it then stacks 21 of the bales very tightly and finishes them off with steel bands. When this process is finished, they band-it releases the bundel of bales on the go.
*This piece of farm equipment came out within the last couple of years. It is VERY handy. It sure beats picking each square bale up by hand and stacking! We have one back home and it's very effecient. There is also a little GPS that comes with it that you keep in the cab with you. It tells you if somethings wrong or if you are running low on steel bands. It's also easier to store and move around. As of last year, we were the first one's in Ohio to have one.
*If you want to see how it operates, check out this video on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eku5MlKJOiM
