show you now it's right underneath here is the apparatus that picks up the hay and those little tiny little metal rides will run along the ground and scoop a up and throw it up into the baler and the baler has all these belts in it this belt system and all those belts just keep turning and tightening and rolling and tightening and then when it comes time for us to tie the string there's a string feeder right there and that thing crosses all the way over and there's a meter right here that tells you it crosses all the way to that side and then it goes back to the other side and then it automatically cuts the string and your bales all wrapped up and ready to go now if you'll remember in the previous blog when I was raking the page I was concerned about the hay rake not rolling it tight enough windrow and this is what happened see the baler went right through there and left two little stripes of grass this makes a whole lot more work for me I'm gonna get you up here on the tractor and show you what's going on okay all right so we're gonna get started right here mowing and I want to show you the baler so that's the PTO shaft turning
