Bailers
Farmers used bailers in both hay and grain production.
Hay and straw had to be
hauled to and hand-fed into
the baler for processing. This
process could be dangerous
to operators because their
hands and arms could be
sucked into the machinery.
Power Take Off shafts (PTOS)
were invented in the 1930s
and added on tractors.
This allowed the bailer to
directly uptake hay from
field rows. This increased
efficiency and worker safety.
