The baler for the walk-behind tractor allows to improve the harvest of grain crops, namely to remove the remaining hay and straw. The device compresses the mass into bales or rolls, convenient for transportation and storage. Consider the characteristics and features of these devices, among which there are suitable modifications for large areas and private farms.
Mini baler for walk-behind tractor
This device belongs to the category of compact pick-ups. With its help, hay is pressed into rectangular blocks. The main advantage of the device is that bales are easier to transport and fold. In addition, the process of feeding animals is facilitated. When pressing, it is possible to adjust the density of the bale, therefore, its weight and size. Such an opportunity extends the scope of the device and the transportation process.
Rolled analogues
The round baler for the walk-behind tractor spins and presses the material to be collected using a special grill. This design allows you to control the density and friability of straw. Before you get the roll, it is wrapped with rope or twine.
This type of pick-up is considered the most popular. This is due to some advantages over competitors, namely:
- Compact dimensions in comparison with bale counterparts.
- Lower price.
- The best operating and maintenance conditions.
- The ability to leave the core loose for better air circulation.
- Rolls come out the same in size and density.
Device
Hay baler for walk-behind tractor belongs to small agricultural machinery, it is a trailing device attached to a working machine. The main purpose of the device is the collection of hay, straw, stems with their subsequent pressing. As a result, feed waste does not take up much space during storage and is more transportable.
An important factor is that mini-variations are small in size and do not require a large storage room. At the same time, the working width and the area processing speed are reduced, but there is a real possibility of aggregation with almost any walk-behind tractor.
Roll models consist of a pressing belt, a special drum, a knitting and a tension unit. In addition, the design provides a conveyor and a movable roller. The electrical system includes audible signals and rotary indicator lights. Power is taken through the shaft of a walk-behind tractor or tractor.
The bale system consists of a knitting device, a transmission unit for the movement of the mechanism, a pressing device and a receiving compartment. Power take-off is identical to rolled counterparts.
How does a baler for a walk-behind tractor work?
Roll modification with spring teeth picks up a roll of straw or hay, which then falls into a special compartment and twists under the influence of a pressing device.
In bale counterparts, the selection goes exactly the same, after which the collected mass is transported by means of a screw mechanism into the pressing chamber. The knitting machine is activated under the pressure of hay on the walls of the compartment. The bale is wrapped in a pair of threads and thrown onto the land. Certain models due to design features are more common. Let us consider their characteristics in more detail.
Domestic technology
The baler for the Neva motor-block (PPR-50) has a low cost and good functionality. It is compatible with equipment with a capacity of 10 horsepower. Owners often make claims that the forming compartment is not protected by the diameter of the casing, and this contributes to the loss of part of the collected straw through the rollers. In addition, the device does not have disk stops on the sides, which affects the density of roll formation, especially if there is a lot of mass in the chamber.
Specifications:
- Width grip - 800 mm.
- The minimum power of the equipment is 10-12 horsepower.
- Operating speed - up to 6 km / h.
- Length / width / height - 2.5 / 1.6 / 1.5 m.
- The mass of the roll (maximum) is 20 kg.
- Unit weight - 350 kg.
Mini R-500
This Italian baler for walk-behind tractor is more perfect, almost 1.5 times heavier than the domestic counterpart. To work, you will need a device with an engine of at least 11 horsepower. The weight of the formed rolls is 55 kg, which is practical, but heavy for manual loading. The device is compact in size, high performance and modern layout. The pressing part is a block with aluminum rollers.
Parameters:
- Capture in width - 1300 mm.
- The size / diameter of the roll is 570/630 mm.
- Power consumption - from 11 horsepower.
- Speed - 540 rotations per minute.
- Press density - 350 kg / cu. m
- Length / width / height - 1.8 / 1.4 / 1.2 m.
- The mass of the device is 520 kg.
- Roll weight (maximum) - 55 kg.
Modification RXYK 0850
The round baler for the walk-behind tractor, characterized by a high power indicator, can even work with roughage (corn, sunflower). At the same time, the equipment has compact dimensions, it produces small and light rolls, which facilitates their transportation to one person.
Specifications:
- Width grip - 800 mm.
- The power of the power plant - from 24 "horses".
- Roll dimensions - up to 70 cm.
- Operating speed (maximum) - 5 km / h.
- Length / width / height - 1.15 / 1.3 / 1.2 m.
- The weight of the device is 390 kg.
Model M60 Mini
This bale mini baler for walk-behind tractor is produced in Slovenia together with Italian designers under the SIP brand. The equipment has compact dimensions, robust design and the ability to choose different working widths.
The following are the technical plan parameters of this machine (in brackets are the characteristics of the Mini S and Super versions):
- Coverage - 1.05 (0.9 / 1.4) m.
- The length of the bale is from 40 to 130 cm.
- The power of a walk-behind tractor or mini-tractor is 20 horsepower.
- Length / width / height - 1.6 / 3.9 / 1.35 (1.49 / 3.95 / 1.35 and 1.9 / 3.95 / 1.35) m.
- Unit weight - 900 (900/1000) kg.
How to make a baler yourself?
Hay picker can be built with your own hands, focusing on the capabilities of the existing walk-behind tractor. Component parts can be purchased at showdowns and in specialized stores. It is worth noting that the higher the power of the working unit, the more efficient the waste will be collected.
The platform for the device is assembled according to the following scheme:
- It is necessary to form a running unit with a base on a pneumatic wheelset.
- Then the conveyor and the frontal part are mounted on the trailer.
- It is desirable to purchase the main pressing mechanism in a factory assembly, where a clamping grate, rollers and a plate spring are provided.
- Next, you should connect the gearbox to the universal joint, which will provide a chain transmission for interaction with the rollers.
To improve the functionality of the device, gears of a sufficiently large diameter should be selected. The finished device will improve the efficiency of the work done and reduce the time spent.
