Hay baler is also called a press. If its a square baler (i'll try to get pics of ours with the covers removed this weekend) it picks up the hay and feeds it into the chamber in which there is a huge plunger that presses it together. As it feeds through it wraps string around the bale, and sticks it around the end of the bale with a set up big needles then the knotters tie the knots and cut the string and the process starts with the next bale.

Now the round balers (which i do not have experience with) make the bale by spinning the hay around and around on rollers. When the hay gets to the size the operator wants (indicated by a guage on the outside of the baler, or a beeping sound, or digital display) depending on how fancy and new the baler is then the operator stops the tractor pushes a button or pulls a string that makes the baler open up and eject the bale from the rear of the baler.
