Patents New Hay Press For Faster Baling
Theodule Guidry of Church Point Louisiana has patented a double baler hay press that eliminates large springs and reduces draft. It can produce fifty to sixty bales per hour with a central crank shaft and dual baling chambers. One horse drives power, each end compressing a bale, with springs regulating weight for adjustable bale size. Guidry expects the device to outperform current models and is negotiating with manufacturers for production and sale.
