Larry, my Dad had some hay baled with one of those balers when I was little.
Traditional Farmer uses one sometimes up in VA where he lives.

The farmers wore out years before the Roto-Baler
could be worn out. I see the even had a AC roller
bar pto rake. Did a excellent raking job, but a fussy
machine to operate

Would sure like to get a canopy off a roto-baler to make a sunshade for my Kubota. Even the right color! I'd get the AC decal for the sides, just to confuse the folks.

I had one of those AC PTO driven rakes. It could also ted (had a gearbox to reverse it)- but tedding broke a lot of teeth.

Thanks for the pictures. I?d like to find an roto baler
someday to fix up . The big mfwd are running duals
on the front now they have been common since
they went over the 300 hp mark

Reminds me of a guy who took some stuff to town, displayed it in a vacant lot on a table with a sign saying "free stuff," left for a while and returned to find the stuff on the ground and the table gone!!

Very cool pic's. I have two of the roto balers. The one is a parts baler.
The other I've made a very few bales with it, just to see if it works.
Now I need to work on the wrap/tie mechanism. Anyone out there know anything
about them?!?!?!
The parts baler is basicly complete, but it has that "over feeder" thing that was supposed
let the operator keep going, and not stop as each bale was made. Not gonna fix that!!!!
Too many clutches, levers, electric clutches to figure out!!!

What was fussy? I remember hard for a 10yo to grease. Jackstand would have helped too! Especially being a runt.

There is no "tie". When the bale gets to a preset size, the twine arm drops with a bang and the pickup stops. That's your signal to stop forward motion. The last bit of hay takes the twine in. The arm slowly moves back up, pulling the twine across the still-spinning bale. When the twine arm returns 'home', the twine is cut and a latch opens the bale chamber to eject the bale. The bale chamber closes and you start forward again.

All that might happen about once every sixth bale...

SVcummins- A Roto-baler might be a fun hobby. If you care about getting your hay/straw baled, make sure you have a real baler handy.

Larry- Did you stop and ask? It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the balers were also free for the taking!
