The Biggest Hay Baler Ever Built Explaind

Every hay baler ever built solves the same problem: pick a row of hay off the ground, pack it into a shape one person can move, drop it back on the field. The only thing that changes is how big the bale gets — and how few people it takes to make it. From Gary Vermeer's first round baler invented in a Pella Iowa workshop in 1971 (the prototype that only worked because Gary threw a fence post into the chamber), to the Krone BiG Pack 1290 HDP II built in Germany today (1,500 pound bales, 180 tonnes of plunger force, the world's largest production square baler). This is how the most ambitious hay balers ever built were actually built. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Vermeer 605C — the 1971 round baler that started everything 1:25 Hesston 4800 — the 1978 first commercial large square baler 2:45 John Deere 569 — the American round-baler workhorse 3:35 New Holland BigBaler 1290 Plus — Belgian competitor with RFID 4:30 McHale Fusion 3 Plus — Irish baler-and-wrapper combo (the silage answer) 5:35 Vermeer 605N Cornstalk Special — biggest production round baler today 6:35 Krone BiG Pack 1290 HDP II — the king 🔔 Subscribe for more:    / @farmerdude20   #farming #hay #haybaler #agriculture #vermeer #krone #johndeere #newholland #mchale #hesston #howitsbuilt #farmequipment
