Powerstarâ„¢ Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hay chunks. Interesting, can't see anything wrong with the idea, store them in a pile I take it. Wonder why it didn't catch on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert in NY Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 John Deere also had a hay cuber on the market. The problem with them is they have a very limited area where they can be used efficiently. I think this was designed for the commercial hay and alfalfa cube market where they package them in 5, 10, 25 and 50 pound bags for people with rabbits, chinchillas and other little household pets. I don't recall ever seeing a Massey Ferguson version so I thank you for posting this. I see the MF version was designed with the farmer in mind which is surprising since this machine uses a lot of energy to put up this type of hay and would require the farmer to modify his farm to handle these cubes. A square bale can be tossed out of the mow rather easily. These would need to be shoveled or stored in a new building. It just seems like a lot more work.

jdc Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Never seen one before Marky, but in the UK we can never get hay dry enough to bale , but in the US they can afford to add a wee bit water!. Not much of a swath in the first pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorsday Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 No Marky, I have to confess you have got me on this one. I hold my hands up and say 'It's a fair cop, guv'.
