Bale banding can help consumers save a bundle
The Bale Band-It from Landoll/GFC eliminates the manual labor involved in producing small square bales of hay. The Bale Band-It is pulled behind a baler, banding together 21 small bales into a tight, self-supporting bundle. This fully automatic machine packages together the bales, using only two 12-inch (1.3-centimeter) wide straps around the length of the bundle. The 21-bale bundle can be moved with simple pallet forks mounted on a tractor or forklift. Current small-bale handling equipment adds some labor savings to hay producers, but provides no labor savings for the end consumer. With the bundle, the end consumer needs nothing more than a forklift to have the same mechanical handling advantage as the producer. Manual labor is eliminated from the field, storage, transportation and end consumer. These labor savings from the bundles make the hay more marketable and create a value-added product.
